Pattern Notes ~ Cranberry Twist Sweater (also referred to as “Hazelnut Sweater”) is worked in the round from the bottom up until the body is separated at the beginning of the armholes. Stitches are cast on for the sleeves using cable-cast on method, and front and back are worked flat separately. Shoulders are closed using three-needle bind off. Stitches for the sleeves are picked up around the armholes and are then worked in the round down to the cuffs. The sweater features waist shaping in the back.

Due to the nature of this stitch pattern, the stitch count will vary.

The sweater is primarily seamless and requires very minimal seaming at the underarms only.
