Debby with a Y
Providing soft comfort, I’m pleased to introduce Debby with a Y – a lightly shaped pullover sure to be a favorite. Worked in Quince & Co’s Crane yarn, a worsted mohair blend, this is a top-down, in-the-round, stockinette stitch knit, with long slim sleeves worked top-down and in-the-round as well. An easy 1x1 rib trims its wide oval neckline and hems. This design is seamless except for the sleeve caps that are briefly shaped with short rows at their starts, and set in. It’s a fun project that works up quickly and feels like heaven to wear. Enjoy!
