The shoulders are skillfully shaped with a few short rows, creating a comfortable fit, and are finally joined together with a classic three-needle bind-off.

The sleeves are elegantly crafted top-down from stitches picked up around the armholes and are finished with a touch of colorwork that echoes the beautiful designs throughout the body of the pullover. To complete this charming vintage look, a substantial shawl collar adds coziness and sophistication. Whether you’re knitting for a child or embracing your own love for vintage ski wear, this “Modern Fair Isle” ski sweater pattern is sure to become a cherished addition to your knitting repertoire.
