Body is worked in one piece with a beautiful lattice insert on each side that continues in a narrow panel up to the underarm. The same detail is worked on the sleeves.

The pattern stitches are given on charts. You should feel comfortable in working shaping (decreases) while continuing the lattice pattern to successfully work this project (decreases are not shown on the charts).

Seda Rustica, the yarn used, gives nice stitch definition, and makes a soft, drapey fabric.

Errata added 7/27/15:
Several dots indicating a purl st are missing from the symbols on Rows 5, 13 and 21 of the Side Chart.
All the sts that move should be maintained as knit sts on the RS of the work and all the background sts should be maintained as purl sts within the triangle portion of the chart.

Update 3/25/16: stitch key missing from page 3, pdf revised.
