Twisted Spoke is a top-down, pullover sweater with A-line shaping. It is knit in-the-round with a simple twisted stitch and garter stitch pattern adorning the yoke, sleeves, sides of the sweater and the bottom ribbing. It is a fun and fairly quick knit. Once the yoke is complete, it consists mostly of stockinette stitch coupled with a little detail to keep it interesting. The Brigantia lends a subtle sheen with its silk content and a lovely drape.
