I’ve surprised myself by how (relatively) quickly this has come together. Very glad that I went with a different stitch pattern from my inspiration piece as the v-neck shaping was not too difficult for me. I was able to find a stitch pattern for the trim that mimicked the squares in the main pattern and also provided spaces for eventual buttons — so, no worries about buttonholes either.
Keeping things simple in both stitch choices and garment shaping has allowed me to come up with a piece that fits my original idea and will be a pleasure to wear. It has also provided me with a pleasurable activity for much needed respite from the craziness we find ourselves in these days.
Details: Yarn - Silk City Fibers Cotton Bamboo & Linen, color - denim. Sport weight on 1.1 lb. cones - 1,650 ypp. Used 1 cone with leftover yarn. Main stitch pattern - #86 from “Crochet Patterns Book 300” Trim stitch pattern - Block Edging from “The Crochet Stitch Bible” by Betty Barnden. Crochet hook size E (3.5mm)

Thought it might be of interest to add a screenshot of the original cardigan which inspired my recent project. Not too great to see details, but it was the best I could find.
