Charcoal Fair Isle Yoke Crew Neck Knit Sweater
A crew-neck pullover in a brushed knit, with zig-zag and diamond bands across the yoke, matching bands above the ribbed hem and long sleeves.
Patterned bands are set row by row, so each colour runs brief.
A banded yoke under a pub light
A quiz night in a village pub is four people round a small table under a low yellow light, all leaning in over one answer sheet. A banded yoke sits across the top of the chest where that light lands, and the same bands come back above the ribbed hem, so the knit reads top and bottom even while you are sat down.
What the second look gets is the symmetry. The zig-zag and diamond bands at the yoke are answered above the hem, so the knit is composed rather than merely decorated, and a brushed surface softens the edge of every band under a dim light. By the third round somebody has asked where it came from.
Two bands, top and bottom, and the knit is finished.
Bands at the yoke, bands at the hem
The knit is brushed, so the surface is softened rather than left crisp, and at the top it is a plain crew neck. Across the yoke there are zig-zag and diamond bands, and the sleeves are long.
Above the ribbed hem those same bands are repeated, matching the ones at the yoke, which is what gives the knit its two horizontals. The brushing is what the hand finds first: the pattern sits under a soft surface instead of standing out hard from it.

Banded knitting runs brief
Bands at the yoke and above the hem have to line up with one another, so a colour is knitted through and then stopped rather than run on. The charcoal and the navy go first, and a return of the same run is not guaranteed.
Take the colour while it is listed. Fourteen days from delivery is enough to try it on indoors and send it back unworn and in its original condition.
