If you add a Fair Isle jumper to your winter rotation you’ll enjoy some hygge in sweater form. Originating on the eponymous island in Shetland, the Fair Isle jumper uses a traditional knitting technique that creates patterns using multiple colours at once. With their intricate patterns and artisanal credentials these knits are loved by designers, including Molly Goddard (pictured left), who has created a new spin on the style each season alongside her tulle skirts. Ralph Lauren’s British heritage aesthetic also favours the design, while Khaite’s creative director Catherine Holstein showed multiple versions of the printed knit, from a traditional turtleneck sweater to a street-style hoodie.
