Canal Twist is a modern sleeveless top featuring a bold, elegant cable panel that adds structure, texture, and a timeless look. Worked seamlessly from the top down, this design offers a clean, intuitive construction that makes it easy to adjust length, fit, and shaping to your own preferences.

The combination of twisted cables, simple ribbing, and a flattering neckline creates a versatile piece you can wear year-round layered over a shirt in cooler months or on its own during warmer days. The pattern is written to be clear, accessible, and progressive, making it a perfect choice for knitters who want to explore cable knitting without the complexity of a full sweater.

Whether you’re looking for a quick wardrobe staple, a cable project that feels engaging but not overwhelming, or a minimalistic textured top with a modern silhouette, Canal Twist will become one of your go-to knits.
