Apeldoorn is knit in the round from the bottom up. The stitch pattern is worked in two contrasting colors, just one color per round. Using just simple knit, purl, slip stitches and alternating colors create interesting stripe patterns. The pattern evolves up the sleeves to the yoke with subtle pattern changes and the increase of more rounds of the main color.

The body is made first, then the sleeves. There’s a modification for longer sleeves and A-Line body shaping, both of these modifications are completed before joining for the circular yoke shaping. The sleeves and the body are then joined together to make the yoke. The yoke begins with raglan shaping and continues with concentric decreases to the neck. Short rows shape the back neck.

The A-Line version begins with a textured band and the straight version begins with ribbing and a small two color textured stripe.
