The Skye Pullover is a formal and dressy transitional pullover with a fitted bodice and billowy mohair sleeves.

Stitches for the sleeve caps are picked up along the armholes, formed with short rows, and worked straight down. At the wrist, decreases and a contrasting I-cord bind-off cinch the bottom of the sleeves for increased practicality.
