There is a rule that a busy knit should take plain fastenings, and this ignores it completely. The cables run everywhere - front, back, the full length of both sleeves - and the buttons are domed gold-tone metal, sitting proud of the surface rather than sinking into it.
It holds together because of the band they sit on. A wide column of flat ribbing runs down the center front, clearing a channel through all that texture, and the buttons are spaced along it far enough apart to read as deliberate. The neckline is ribbed to match and the body is cut short and close.
The effect is closer to a jacket than a cardigan, and it will carry an outfit that has nothing else going on.
