Description from the pattern:
“…two versions, one in Silky Wool and one is Silky Tweed… Whichever yarn you choose, the slight wrap effect allows for choice between buttons and a knitted belt.
Simple knots, arranged in a zipper-like way, create a border around the front edge and the bottom of the sleeves. The border continues around the neck to create a yoke.”
