Description

Debina is a top down seamless yoke sweater with a textured yoke which was inspired by embroidery from the Rzeszów area in in Poland. The design incorporates ribbing, eyelets, twisted stitches, slip stitches and cables. There are short rows worked at the top of the neckline to raise the back of the neckline for a comfortable fit. For the smaller sizes the textured yoke continues beyond the sleeve and body divide. There is optional waist shaping and the hem and cuffs are finished off with slip stitches and ribbing.
