From the magazine:

Frog Tree Yarns Alpaca Sport is the ideal option for this asymmetrical vest, designed by Sandi Prosser. The inherent drape and softness of the alpaca allows the front panels to drape into soft folds which cascade down the front. The box stitch pattern creates a reversible fabric and the simple snap closure and belting allow for ease of wear.“
