Notes
The lace parts in the pattern are based on the amazing work by Hitomi Shida, found in the book Japanese Knitting Stitch Bible.
Charts are to be read from bottom up. The garment is worked in round on circular needles top down, without seams, there is small elevation on the back for better fitting. First Yoke is worked on needles 3mm; then Yoke is split into Back, R Sleeve, Front, L Sleeve, then elevation on the back is worked back-and-forth for 8 rows; then Front and Back are joined together and worked in round down to the desired length. Then, sleeves are worked in round on needles 3.25 mm down to the cuffs; then Cuffs of needles 2.75mm. All symbols in the charts depict the right side of pattern. The stitch numbers under the chart are only there to help you navigate through the chart.
There is Stitch Glossary at the end of this document, where it is explained how to work each particular stitch.
If in doubt at any point, inspect the included images of the actual knits.

If you use the same yarn as me, DROPS BabyAlpaca Silk, you should carefully steam your work with iron several times throughout the knitting process, and pull/stretch it into shape: once after the Yoke is done (before starting the Main Body), once after the whole body is done (before starting the sleeves); steam the sleeves before starting the sleeve cuffs.
