Tvist is a top down seamless circular yoke sweater with colorwork. The sweater has an oversized relaxed fit but with fitted sleeves. It is easy to adjust the length. Short rows are added to lift the back and lower the front. The pattern is charted and easy to knit. When the yoke is finished the sleeves are separated from the body by slipping stitches onto a holder or waste yarn, and are knitted later. When the main body is finished, you transfer the sleeve stiches from the holder/waste yarn to a needle and pick up stiches from the armhole. Then the sleeves are knitted from the armhole to the wrist.
