The Twistlin Sweater is all about texture, comfort, and ease. Named after the twisted and crossed stitches that flow through the body and sleeves, this design brings a bit of movement and interest without going over the top. It’s balanced out by clean, twisted ribbing at the neck, cuffs, and hem—simple, polished, and wearable.

Knit top-down and completely seamless, Twistlin is worked in DK weight yarn and designed with a generous positive ease for a relaxed, cozy fit. It’s also super flexible—you can easily adjust the yoke, body, and sleeve lengths to make it exactly how you like it.

The ease across sizes is 25-35 cm/10-14”. The picture shows size 2 with 30 cm/12” of positive ease.
