Description ~ Bavarian Twisted Stitches

Bavarian twisted stitches are a type of knitting technique that creates intricate, raised patterns by twisting stitches on every row or round. These stitches are commonly used in Bavarian, Austrian, and German knitting traditions, often seen in socks, mittens, and bodices of traditional garments and folk costumes.

Bavarian twisted stitches create sharp, precise motifs that resemble vines, braids, or geometric shapes. They differ from cables in that they maintain a leaner, more structured look.
