Debbie Bliss Skye PDF

Debbie Bliss Skye is a stunning traditional women’s Fair Isle vest with a lovely modern twist knit in Baby Cashmerino. This is a great project for knitters new to Fair Isle since there are no sleeves to deal with. The vest is knit flat from the bottom up and then seamed. Debbie Bliss Baby Cashmerino is perfect for baby and children’s items or anything where you want blissfully soft fabric against the skin. The Fair Isle patterns are in chart form only.
