Lad os Twiste or Let´s twist is an easy sweater to knit. You can knit this in cotton, linen or silk for the summer and wool or a wool blend for the winter. It has a crossover V-neck and a rib with a little twist, which gives it a feminine look. You can also knit an ordinary 2x2 rib, if you prefer that.

This pattern is knitted top down in one piece. You will knit back and forth in the beginning while you shape the V-neck and work on the back and sleeves. After the V-neck has been shaped the rest of the sweater is knitted in the round. It is fast and easy to knit. After knitting you only have to pick up sts for the neck and weave in a few ends!

You can add waist shaping if you like as shown in the picture – instructions are included in this pattern.

The advantage of knitting top down is that it can be tested along the way and the circumference can be adjusted with fewer or more increases at the raglan lines.

“Lad os twiste” er let og hurtig at strikke. Du kan strikke den i bomuld, hør eller silke til en kølig sommeraften eller uld til vinterbrug. Den har V-udskæring med lille overlap og ribben er med et lille twist, som giver den et feminint udtryk. Du kan naturligvis strikke en almindelig rib, hvis du foretrækker det.

“Lad os twiste” er strikket oppe fra og ned i ét stykke. (Topdown). I begyndelsen strikkes frem og tilbage, mens du former V-udskæringen. Når V-udskæringen er strikket, samles arbejdet og der strikkes rundt resten af arbejdet.

Monteringen består blot i at samle masker op i halsudskæringen for at lave den sidste finish i form af en halskant med et lille overlap og hæfte ender.

Du kan strikke den med talje, hvis du ønsker det – instruktion i opskriften.

Fordelen ved at strikke oppefra og ned er, at den kan prøves undervejs og vidden kan reguleres med flere eller færre raglanudtagninger.
