This cardigan is a copy of the shawl collared cashmere lace cardigan worn by Kyra Sedgewick as Brenda Lee Johnson in the TV show The Closer

The body of this lace cardigan is knit back and forth in one piece to the underarms, then separated for front and back. All wrong side rows are purl the purl stitches, knit the knit stitches. The shawl collar is knit as extensions from the two front facing sections and grafted together at the back neck.
