This pattern has three options. You can choose to stick, twist or stick and twist! All options require the same number of sts for CO and the same size needle. The pattern is written for super chunky yarn and is knitted flat before seaming to form the twist. Gauge and measurements are given based on super bulky yarn with WPI of 5 (We Are Knitters The Wool). A lighter super bulky yarn with WPI of 6, such as Malabrigo Rasta, will have a slightly tighter gauge and smaller measurements. The pattern repeat is a multiple of four stitches, over two rows. It can be easily adapted for use with other yarn weights and sizes.
