Special Stitches:
Right Twist (RT): Create this beautiful texture by knitting 2 stitches together while keeping both stitches on the left needle. Then, knit into the first stitch again before pulling both stitches onto the right needle to complete the stitch.
Left Twist (LT): For another textured stitch, knit through the back loop of the second stitch, while keeping it on the left needle. Next, knit the first stitch and pull both stitches onto the right needle to finish.
