Bentley 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. Knit in gorgeous Sherwood Yarns Blue Faced Leicester sock yarn (shown in Bramley Apple, size 36), the brilliant sheen and bold colors 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.
