THIS CHIC and unusual top by Deborah Helmke features a dramatic twist at thefront, which is created at the sewing-up stage. A horizontal slub stitch produces a textured fabric; the garment is knitted
in The Fibre Co. Acadia, a DK yarn that blends merino, alpaca and silk for a soft and lustrous feel. Deborah’s design includes waist shaping, side slits and a back that’s longer than the front,for a distinctly modern shape.
