Previously published in issue 6 of Knit Now magazine, this pattern is now available to purchase individually.

Twisted travelling stitches flow easily from the ribbed base to the crown, creating a rhythmic pattern that’s meditative to knit and restful to look at. Choose a smooth yarn to make the most of those high-relief rivulets.

The easy-to-wear gentle slouch shape is written in 4 sizes, with both text and charted instructions.
