From the pattern description at Patternfish:

Brand-new patterns from Brown-Reinsel are too rare, which is why we’re especially celebrating this one. Rich in traditional elements-- as usual-- it’s also a gorgeous little contemporary set which couldn’t be more on trend. It’s ethnic, it’s fresh, it’s small and a popular style, and it’s worked in Aran-weight (12 ply, or about 18 sts to 4”/10cm in st st with a 5mm/US8 needle) yarn for comparative speed. This is a terrific way to introduce yourself to tvaandsstickning (two-end or twined knitting). You absolutely cannot be in better hands.
