This easy cardigan shape is great for first-time clothes knitters as there’s just a hint of shaping. The lace-effect yoke means that wearing a top in a contrast color will make the knit even more effective and show it off to best advantage: everyone will know how clever and talented you are. If you have a top that you plan to wear underneath you could match the buttons to your top as I’ve done, which will accentuate the contrast. For a summer coverup this little cardi will work beautifully in cotton (Love to Knit, p. 84)
