Sample shown in size 34” with no ease.
Yarn quantities given in lace weight and lace weight held double.

Twist is a seamless, top down cardigan featuring asymmetric sleeve placement, short row drape at neckline and waist with a front button band that slopes to the right. (The original version and test knits feature a button band sloping to the left: see photos at the bottom of this page)

The pattern construction has been refined from the original prototype and features extra short rows at neck and short rows at waist. (My waist short rows were inspired by designer Boknits wonderful test knit)
