The BagSmith’s Big Stitch Bundle is made up of 6 different yarns (@88yds each) bundled together with most of them being hand dyed together so all 6 yarns match though the Big Stitch Bundle I used for the shoulders, collar & bottom section has the same tone throughout.

For the open work in the body section I used the BagSmith’s Blissa Bling an alpaca/merino with a metallic thread running through that I loved working with. It’s the same fiber content as Blissa so it’s super soft!

The #11 needle is used for the belt; the #15 for the shawl collar; the #19 for the body and the J hook for making buttons.

I would rate this as an easy pattern for the intermediate knitter because of the short rows worked in the collar.
