This is an unusual construction – it starts with a provisional cast on and is then knit top-down until the pyramid band and diamonds are completed. The provisional cast on is then removed and the live stitches picked up, and the waistcoat is then knit bottom up to the divide for the fronts and back at the armhole. The back and fronts are knitted up separately.
