Reversi is a cardigan that can be worn either way out. One side shows the look of the classic brioche knit, the other — supposedly the reverse side — shows the texture of the half brioche knit. If you add buttons on both sides, you get a fully reversible cardigan with two different sides and almost invisible vertical buttonholes.
