A gorgeous textured sweater with no cabling required. Texture is created with twisted stitches to form a braid effect, interspersed with blackberry stitch. The effect is not only very attractive but also adds depth, making a warm and cosy sweater. Worked bottom up and finished off with a comfy cross over collar which is knitted sideways.
