Skye is a Fair Isle dream, a waistcoat you can wear over anything to create a fabulous look that is traditional with a gorgeous modern twist! It’s a great project for knitters new to Fair Isle because you are working smaller sections (and no sleeves!), and it’s worked up in Baby Cashmerino, a super soft sport weight merino wool and cashmere yarn that is machine washable!
