Wintersweet is a round yoke cardigan knit from the top down.

 

The V-neck is shaped as the yoke is worked back and forth and is ultimately finished off with a pretty collar and trim. The sleeves have folded cuffs finished with trim to match the collar. 3 simple buttons serve as closures while leaving the slight A-line free to fall gently aside.
