V-neck cardigan has very simple lace edging with holes big enough to allow a button through, eliminating the need to make regular buttonholes. Slightly puffed sleeves, also undemanding to make, complete a design that is exquisitely feminine and very wearable, while still quick and easy enough to knit to make it an ideal lazy days project.
