columns of my pattern are formed
using twisted stitches.” explains Emma
Vining. “Combining two and three
stitch twists slightly raises each column
from the background. The diagonal

textured sections. The sides and drop
sleeves of the garment are knitted in
seed stitch, with the lower edges and
neckband knitted in garter stitch.”
