“Ladder and Twist” is a boxy pullover with cable patterns and a hi-lo hem.
First, the right and left saddle shoulder panels are worked separately with Twist pattern, then stitches are picked up for the back and front along the panel edges. German short rows are used to shape the shoulders with garter stitch, then the front and back of the pullover are worked back and forth separately to the underarm with Ladder and Twist patterns. They are joined to be worked in the round in one piece, then divided into two to work hi-low hem back and forth. The sleeves are worked top down in the round after the body is finished, with Twist pattern running down from the shoulder saddles.
