When I’m knitting, I love a fun texture and a little bit of interest in a pattern. What I don’t like is doing techniques that interrupt the flow of my knitting. I love the way cables look, but I don’t love stopping to pick up a cable needle, or trying to manage stitches by dropping them off my needle. In theory, this type of pattern would be my nemesis. But, I figured out a technique that requires neither of those things, nor does it interrupt the flow of knitting. The best part is that it works for k1, p1 cable combinations, like in the left twist. This left twist technique replaces the traditional technique of having to try to purl through the back loop. The name of this beanie will make sense when you see how to do the special left twist technique.
