I've made up my mind!
I'll make the sweater as in the pattern with the longer rounded back.
It will be a very warm and cosy sweater!
The pattern is simple twists or cables over only two stitches, slanting alternating to the left and to the right with a purl stitch in between. This creates a zig-zag patterned ribbed texture that is thick and elastic.
In the pattern they use a cable needle but that's unnecessary as you can make the twist both easier and smoother without it.
Right twist
Knit the second stitch on the left needle leaving the first and second stitches on the needle. Knit the first stitch on the left needle and drop both stitches at the same time.
Left twist
Knit the second stitch on the left needle through the front loop from behind leaving the first and the second stitches on the needle. Knit the first stitch on the left needle and drop both stitches at the same time.
