The wonderfully soft Yak/Cormo blend looks great in this simple lacy pattern for a cardi with elbow length dolman sleeves.

Worked sideways this cardi is designed with a close fit as the yarn is so stretchy. 4 buttons give the double breasted look as the deep ‘reverse rib’ (purl bumps are prevalent) crosses at the waist.
