The Cinnamon Twists sweater showcases the same stitch patterns as Kaori Katsurada’s Speculaas socks, originally published in Laine Magazine issue 21. This knit features many twisted stitches and cables, which reminded Kaori of cinnamon twists in confectionery. The pullover is warm and sweet but still has some spice!
