I like stripes, that must be obvious now, I guess. And I like playing around with stripes …
Stripes with a twist is a pullover that features a buttoned turtle neck, stripes, extra long sleeves with thumb holes and a playful (easy) stitch pattern that makes the stripes go dancing. (based on the golfjes- a skirt)

I also made a matching hat with the same dancing stripes
Hat with a twist is a slouchy hat that accompanies the stripes with a twist pullover. It features the same stripes and playful (easy) pattern that makes the stripes go dancing. A large pompom finishes the hat. (Instructions for making a pompom included)
To easily adjust the length of the hat, it is worked top-down, seamlessly in the round.

I have just discovered your designs – they are all beautiful and amazing! I downloaded the stripes-with-a-twist pattern for the jumper from Ravelry and can’t wait to knit it. I really love the yarn/colour(s) used in the example which starts with red/orange at the bottom and ends with the pale turquoise at the top. I would be extremely grateful if you could let me know what that yarn and multicolour might be. Many thanks – and I’ll be following all your designs now. I also would like to say that your pattern is beautifully written and illustrated.
Thank you so very much for lovely comment. The sweater you are referring to is one of my testers’ who tested the pattern before release.
It is lovely, isn’t it ?

She used some kind of mini skeins in fingering weight with the yarn held double.
