Four buttons is a strange number for a knit. Two would be a detail, a full placket would make it a cardigan - four runs from the base of the collar to the middle of the chest and leaves you with an actual decision each morning.
The collar stands on its own in deep ribbing, high enough to close properly against the wind when every button is done up. Cables run the full body and down the sleeves in narrow twisted columns, the shoulders are gathered into a soft puff at the seam, and the cuffs and hem are banded in ribbing that matches the collar.
Buttoned it reads as heritage knitwear. Open it reads as something borrowed, and it is better that way.
Details You'll Love
- Four-button placket - enough to close fully at the throat or leave open to the chest.
- Stand-up ribbed collar - knitted deep so it holds its height rather than folding flat.
- Narrow cable columns - twist down the body and sleeves so no surface is left plain.
- Gathered puff shoulders - soften the seam line instead of squaring it off.
- Cashmere with ribbed bands - the same ribbing at collar, cuffs and hem ties the piece together.
