Twombly lines
If you want to take a look at some of Cy Twombly’s work you can click here.
There is a thread in the stitchnerds group for chat, pics and help (if needed): click here
Saving paper and ink - instructions are on page 2; you may like to just print page 2 and read the rest on screen. The pattern is only charted, but it’s a very easy chart, so could be a good one to learn with.
DK or worsted weight yarn.
The stitch used is a modified version of Barbara Walker’s Loose Stitch and is easy to work in the round - making this a quick knit with great drape.
Please note that the original version is loose and drapey - which I love, but which might not be to everyone’s taste.
Instructions are given for the original one, but I have also included some suggestions for other things you might like to try (including another version that won’t be quite as loose and drapey).
maliha tested a double loop that looks great - click here to find out more
Many thanks to the testers:
