Bentley is a vintage-inspired cardigan that invites a fresh pop of color. This cardi pairs beautifully with jeans and a crisp, collared shirt or over a vintage dress. Whether you choose a color to match your Fluevogs, or simply knit one you know you’ll wear with everything – Bentley is the cardi you want for in-between seasons. Choose a color you love and watch it dance behind the delicate wildflower knots. The back is solid stockinette, to give you the freedom to modify for shaping, if you need (or want) to.

Yardage is enough for cropped length and ¾ sleeves. If longer length is desired, please plan to use more yarn than listed.

Sizes are listed throughout the pattern as 1 (2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8).
