Cardigans almost never have collars. They get a round neck or a V and stop there, which is why putting a proper pointed collar on one changes what it is - suddenly it is closer to a shirt jacket than to knitwear.
The collar here is knitted soft and sits open across the shoulders, with three buttons below it and the placket stopping short so the front falls apart rather than closing all the way down. Cable panels run either side of the opening and down each sleeve, and the body is cropped to sit at the natural waist.
Worn open over a t-shirt it does the job of a jacket without any of the weight - which in a mild autumn is most of what is needed.
