The Effortless Cardigan features madelinetosh tosh DK, which has a recommended gauge of 5.5 - 5 sts/inch on a US 6 - 7 needle, making it closer to a worsted weight.  If you are looking to substitute yarn, I would suggest worsted weight to get the fabric right.  That said, if you can get your hands on tosh DK, do it, it's fantastic and perfect for this cardigan!

You knit from the top down, then pick up stitches for the collar.  Seamless! I worked my collar in stockinette stitch, which curls a wee bit.  You could also work it in K1, P1 rib.
