From the pattern:
Garment is designed to be loose fitting across the bust line. Back is worked from lower edge to a lower than normal neck edge; the remainder of the armhole is created by the ribbed yoke. Fronts are worked from the side edge to neck edge in rib, and drape from the ribbed yoke; insert is sewn under the Front edges.

Diamond Stitch, Smocking Stitch pattern charts and construction schematics are provided.
