Description
The Chorlton Twist sweater is a seamless raglan construction, with a super chunky cosy neck, slightly cropped slightly oversized box-shaped body, and straight long sleeves.

Knitted in super bulky weight yarn, using twisted rib and stockinette stitches, it is a quick knit suitable for a confident beginner/intermediate knitter looking to try a no-seaming design in the round with stretchy cast on and bind off.
