Some knits are about the stitch and some are about the yarn. This is entirely the second kind - a long-haired eyelash yarn that stands away from the surface and blurs the edges of the garment. There is no seam you can see clearly.
Because the yarn does all the work, everything else is kept plain: a deep V neckline, four widely spaced buttons, and no ribbing anywhere except a narrow band at each cuff. The shoulders drop well past the joint and the body is cut loose, so the whole thing moves rather than holds a shape.
It photographs as soft and behaves that way, which is most of what anyone wants from a cardigan in the evening.
