Nikko Cardigan packs a lot of details into a simple, versatile cardigan. The off center opening is accented by a contrasting color with artistic button loops to secure the fabric to either buttons or toggles. Delicate lace/cable cuffs and hem provide an anchor for the contrasting color which transitions into an all-over slanted bamboo pattern worked in simple knit and purl stitches. The modified drop shoulder makes for easy shaping.
