A “twist” on a top down raglan garment, the Twist Cardigan offers plenty of opportunity for you to add your own twist to yours. Begin by choosing between the Waist, Thigh and Knee Length, then add colour to the party. Twist was originally designed with a mini-skein festive set in mind and offers a myriad of ways to incorporate minis into the knit. Knit stripes to showcase the yarn, blend a gradient set of yarn for a continuous fade or have fun with colour blocking. A contrasting main colour serves to enhance the chevron design and provides a counterpoint. Worked in fingering weight yarn, you may also like to hold a strand of kidsilk mohair together to create a cosier luxe version for chillier days. Twist Cardigan is designed to be worn open at the front and features a puff sleeve at the cuff.
