Inishowen

I’ll tell you how the sun rose, a ribbon at a time. The steeples swam in amethyst, The news like squirrels ran. The hills untied their bonnets, The bobolinks begun. Then I said softly to myself, “That must have been the sun! - Emily Dickinson

This is a pattern for a cardi worked from the top down and in the round, with a circular yoke, steek, and using the Fair-Isle colourwork technique. Yoke and body motif are charted. Inishowen is intended for an advanced knitter. The yoke and main motif are charted, however extrapolation of patterning, over the sleeve continuation and their shaping, is required. It is worked in the round with a steek and from the top down. (Please, see images for data page and more info about this pattern.)
