The front of Valley Yarns Goldenrod features a twist stitch pattern that updates a classic style with rich, textured detail. The twist stitch panel splits at the base of the V-Neck and continues to the shoulders. Experienced knitters will enjoy the construction of this piece, which is worked in the round to the underarms with waist shaping, then divided and worked back and forth to the shoulders. Set-in sleeves are worked down from the shoulders with short-row shaping, for a great fit using an unusual technique. The twist stitch patterns are charted and written out.
