This is a sleeveless pullover knit in pieces from the bottom up, beginning with a provisional cast on. Waist shaping is executed by changing needle sizes. The collar is added at the end, and is closed in the back with two buttons. The sleeves are finished with a decorative edge that is picked up and knit in finishing. The pattern is actually quite simple, and the end result gorgeous.

Have plenty of yarn, the pattern calls for approximately 750 meters, and I used over 1050, and I am not a loose knitter.
