I actually did them wrong for years until I was in a class where we were using them, and the instructor showed me in person. Its the one technique I wasn't able to learn from a book. Why? I have no idea. Freaky It took me forever to figure out knitted twists. I actually did them wrong for years until I was in a class where we were using them, and the instructor showed me in person.

I hope the photos help. Barbara Walker describes them two ways and said she prefers doing it differently from the way I describe here. But, I kept trying it following her "preferred" directions, reading and re-reading, and kept finding the front stitch on the LT was twisted -- the way they are if you insert the needle the wrong way when you knit a stitch rather than slanted.) So, I ended up doing it this way; the final result looks like her photo. These are difficult to describe in words. I hope the photos help.

I should take a picture of the vest I made l_o_n_g ago with the all over right twist cables done this way. I would never have made it using a cable needle! It works great!

To begin insert right needle tip through the back loop of the second stitch away from the left needle tip as shown to the left. Wrap the yarn pull the loop through (just as to knit a stitch), but don’t drop the stitches off the left needle. (So far, exactly like the LT.)

I guess it's kind of a twist stitch. The directions are: Line 3; K1 C2F, C2B, * K2, C2F, C2B, repeat from * K1. Do you offer help with this kind of problem? This stitch is defined as: (Cross 2 back or 2 front) K into back or front of 2nd stitch on needle, then K 1st stitch, slipping both off needle at same time. For the life of me, I can't figure out how to do it. Help with a stitch, beginner me. I guess it’s kind of a twist stitch. The directions are: Line 3; K1 C2F, C2B, * K2, C2F, C2B, repeat from * K1.

I decided to work the crosses without a cable. That’s fairly easy to do when crossing only two stitches as for a Left Twist (LT) or Right Twist (RT) which I show for “Wicker Work”.
