Full twists happen when you repeat the overplait (or follow-up) row. It gives you a more open cloth than either the interlinking or interlacing stitches explored so far. How does this work?
Let me take this opportunity to introduce you to the manner in which I write patterns, and perhaps this will make things more clear.

Click on the image at the left to watch a YouTube video where I introduce you both to the rope stitch and at the same time to my pattern-writing method.
Also at the left you will find a portion of an article I wrote, explaining my pattern writing method, and describing "ropes". To make the mittens below, I repeated only rows 3-6 from page 3 of the document at the left. | ||

Another application of the full twists:
When the warp has at least two colors, and the full twists are strategically placed, you can create lovely colored designs. |
