Tips for Fair Isle Crochet
Fair Isle in crochet uses carried colors — keep floats loose so the dress stretches comfortably. Choose a simple repeating motif like trees or snowflakes. Work the yoke in colorwork and keep the skirt simple for classic balance.

Care Instructions
Hand wash gently in cool water with mild soap; air dry flat. Never wring colorwork. Store flat in tissue as the heirloom it is.
