Originating from Fair Isle, a small island north of Scotland, this pattern became a global icon after King Edward VIII famously wore a Fair Isle sweater in 1921.
For over a century, its colorful motifs — inspired by nature, daily life, and Celtic symbols — have represented the timeless charm of British knitwear craftsmanship.
Traditional palettes include red, navy, sky blue, cream, and ochre, featuring motifs like snowflakes, florals, anchors, and geometric crosses — all woven with intricate repetition and harmony.
