How do you knit twisted stitches?

 

[TammyK]

Are you talking about twisting a knit stitch (or a purl stitch), or knitting a twist with 2 stitches (kind of like a mini-cable)?

How do I do a twisted KNIT stitch!

To twist a single knit stitch, knit through the back of the loop. (Instead of inserting your right-hand needle through the front of the loop to knit, insert it behind your left-hand needle through the back of the loop.) Here's a visual:

How do you knit twisted stitches?

I found this one from Caffeinated Knitter. It is a pattern for a scarf I recently finished making. I've also included photos so you can see if it's what you're considering.

TOASTY TWISTY

Materials: 6-8 ounces worsted weight yarn (depending on length you want)
Size 10 knitting needles
Gauge: Not crucial

Note: Slip first stitch of every row as if to purl.

Stitch Explanation: RT (right twist). Knit next 2 stitches together, but do not slip off left needle. Knit into first stitch again, then slip both stitches off the needle.

Cast on 34 stitches.

Rows 1-4: Knit (see note above)

Row 5: Slip 1, K 1. (P2, K2) 8 times.

Row 6: Slip 1, K1. (RT, P2) 7 times. RT, K2.

Row 7: Slip 1, K1. (P2, RT) 7 times. P2, K2.

Row 8: Slip 1, K1. (K2, P2) 7 times. K4.

Repeat rows 5-8 until scarf is desired length.

Knit 4 rows. Bind off.

DON'T FORGET TO "SLIP THE FIRST STITCH AS IF TO PEARL". This is easily forgotten and it makes such a huge difference in the look of the edge of the scarf.
