Please read it: http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/3.0/ Iset to work on Pudorosa after several months of knitting very simple patterns in garter stitch all in the same yarn, and so I wanted something glamorous.. hope I've achieved that! The buttons are really beads that Ibought in a bead shop; I think they add a touch of antique to the collar. Experiment with different things that could work for buttons - the possibilites are endless! 6/21/2007 Chart corrected and expanded. Errors corrected, detailed instructions for buttonholes added. Materials: Yarn: Filatura di Crosa Alpaca Peru. ( $100\%$ alpaca; 50g/180m). 1 ball will be plenty Needles: 3.5mm (US size 4) Gauge: in stockinette stitch- 26 stitches and 30 rows /4" square on size 4 needles Measurements: 34cm (13.5") around at the narrowest point and 15cm (6") tall
Notes:
1) The first and last four stitches of each row are knit in stockinette stitch (knit on the right side and purled on the wrong side). Trans. note: these stitches are included in the written instructions and in the chart. 2)A buttonhole is knit on the $3^{\mathsf{r d}}$ row and then every $4^{\mathrm{th}}$ row, at the same time as the res of the pattern. They are made at the beginning of the row as follows: k2, yo, k2tog.( We have modified the pattern to add the buttonholes into the written instructions) 3) Trans. Note: The abbreviations I use are as follows: $\mathsf{k}=$ knit, $p{=}p u r l$ , yo=yarn over, $\mathtt{s l=}$ slip next stitch as if to knit, k2tog $=$ knit 2 stitches together, $\mathsf{p s s o}\!=$ pass slipped stitch over

Notes:
There are two ways to cross two stitches: a) Slip the first stitch on the left needle onto a cable needle. Hold the cable needle to the front of your work. Knit the next stitch, and then knit the stitch from the cable needle. b)Knit the second stitch on the left needle to the back of the loop. Before slipping it off of the left needle, knit the first stitch, Slip both stitches off the left needle at the same time. Legend Krit Purl Yam Over Krit 2 together crosstitches s1l, k2tog, psso
