Passap knitting machine instructions for a skirt and top belted outfit. The sleeves and yoke are knit as one piece, and pleated when the top is sewn up. The cuffs are knit on to the sleeves at the machine. The back and front sections of the top are gathered to fit the yoke when sewing together. The straight skirt is knit tubular in one piece.

The pattern asks for 650 g “synthetic yarn” (480m in 100g), 7 buttons, 1 buckle, elastic for the skirt waist.
