Twisted Stitch Sweater
This is a redo of a cotton sweater I made a few summers ago. My goal was to create a comfortable, lightweight, flattering piece with an interesting design pattern throughout. Originally, I had only left-twisted stitches in vertical columns, which was not remarkably interesting, and the length was too short. Dissatisfied with the results, I tucked the project away until recently discovering the pieces of my failure.
By playing with not only the left-twisted stitch but with the right-twisted stitch as well, an attractive diamond pattern emerged. Made with fine-weight cotton and larger needles for draping, it is knit flat in two pieces: a front and a back panel. The outcome of a redesign of the overall shape and stitch pattern is a versatile top, great for dressing casually in warmer weather or wearing under a blazer in cooler seasons.
