What you need to know

Learn Fair Isle with this super simple accessory knitting pattern, designed by Val Pierce

If you’re looking to have a go at stranded colourwork, this is the perfect starter project. The main body of the spectacles case is a simple rectangle with no shaping and, as the colour changes frequently, you don’t need to worry about managing long floats of yarn. Designer Val has embellished the case with pretty daisy buttons.
