Holding pattern: Fair Isle woollies for instant hygge
Fair Isle knits conjure images of open fires in chalets perched among snowy mountains. They’re the clothing equivalent of a hot water bottle
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.
