    At least ONE of those sweaters should have been a Fair Isle pattern!

    Oh Bluey, look how stylish and proper they look! They need to have a cup of tea or a brandy snifter in the picture.

    The Daily Mail article answered all your questions, including mentioning the mud. It was for publicity!

    Both look to have traditional stitch patterns? I have no books of the motifs, but the small repeating multicolored patterns are representative of the fair isle style of stranded knitting.
