Checkerboard Patchwork V Neck Button Cardigan

Big square patches and a fine checkerboard grid are knitted into the same piece, so the pattern shifts as it moves across the body and sleeves. A deep V neckline opens onto a row of gold-tone buttons, the shoulders drop softly and the sleeves gather into ribbed cuffs. The body sits straight and just past the waist, which keeps all that pattern in proportion. Wear it buttoned up as a top with light denim, or open over a white tee and a hat for something more retro.
