This is a top-down, raglan cardigan with 2 pockets in front.
The button band widens around the neck using German short-rows, making it cozier to wear.

The small fun accents are welts made of contrasting colour at the back of the neck and the cuff of the sleeves. To create subtle harmony of welts, the main yarn of the same colour was mixed with mohair of a contrasting colour.
