Rainbow Stripe Knit Button Cardigan

An open-stitch cardigan worked in bands of multicoloured stripes, so every row shifts to a new shade across the body and sleeves. The airy crochet-look knit lets air through on warm days while contrast trim frames the placket, neckline and cuffs for a crisp edge. Buttons run the length of the front, and the easy boxy cut sits just past the waist over denim shorts, cut-offs or straight-leg jeans. Wear it over a plain tank so the pattern does all the talking, or use it as a light throw-on for evenings outdoors.
