Appin is a classic yoke sweater, knit seamlessly in the round from the top down with a four-colour stranded colorwork yoke pattern. Short rows are worked before the underarm divide for an improved back neck fit. Sleeve stitches are placed on hold whilst the remainder of the body is worked in stocking stitch. The sleeve stitches are picked back up and the sleeves are worked in the round down towards the ribbed cuff with shaped decreases.
