From pattern description:
“Loose-fitting stockinette stitch entrelac coat with stand up collar and knitted belt.”

From Vogue Knitting, Fall 2006:
“Shirley Paden’s gem of a diamond-grid coat brushes just past the knee. The body’s stitched with ‘Gems Topaz’ by Louet Sales in simple stockinette, so the emphasis falls squarely on the geometric technique. The retro-tinged details include cushy ribbing on the collar, front edges and belt, not to mention the crochet-covered buckle ring. Dropped shoulders ease the finishing process.”
