The design is worked from the bottom up in reverse stockinette with a charted rhombus pattern on both body and sleeves. The design has set-in sleeves and a V-neck. The rib edges are cast on and bound off using the Italian cast-on and bind-off techniques. Please note that several things happen at the same time in the pattern, so take care to read each section of the pattern before you start knitting.
