This was a really fun project to do. I made this for a class I'm teaching and all the variations amongst the students are turning out quite lovely. I created my own pattern for the Intarsia square and the Fair Isle square pattern is a design out of Fair Isle Sweaters Simplified, by Ann and Eugene Bourgeois. On a side note, the Bourgeois' make a really wonderful yarn that is especially suited for Fair Isle work called Philosopher's Wool.

I increased the size of the pattern to make it fit a 4 year old. The yoke is knit in stockinette instead of the called for garter stitch. I also turned it into a pullover with just the yoke opening in the front for detail.
