From the description:

Inspired by Paris fashions, this sweater was the result of a trip my daughter and I took to London and Paris during National Knitting Week.

The design has a flattering pull at the waist and flares around the hips. While it looks complicated, and does require some concentration during the increases and decreases, if you know how to knit, purl, increase and decrease, and you can count rows, you can make it.
