The textured stripes on this yoked top are created by working a slip stitch pattern in a self-striping colourway of West Yorkshire Spinners’s Signature 4ply sock yarn, paired with a solid shade.

It is knitted bottom up in the round, with stitches cast on provisionally to work the short sleeves later, and short-row shaping at the back neck.

The contrast colour can be a good way to use up a partial ball of 4-ply or a mini skein set.
