Aplis is a round yoke crochet sweater with short sleeves and an elegant stitch pattern. Worked in a luxurious blend of silk, linen and merino, it boasts shine and wonderful drape.

A simplified variation of the classic short rows is used to raise the back side and provide a comfortable fit. The body and sleeves are worked straight in-pattern and their length can be easily adjusted.

Aplis is carefully crafted with masterful details to provide an easy-to-wear crochet sweater and a wardrobe staple.

Aplis means ‘circle’ in Latvian.

Instructions are given in written abbreviated form and US terms.
