Bentley is an easy and fun sweater to make and to wear! Stitch detail adds a touch of texture to the stripes that are a flattering width for all body types.

Choose your colors and get ready for an entertaining project as you watch the stripes zoom by. Make several and be ready to wear them a lot as it’s super comfy and oh so versatile! Picture it with your favorite jeans, slacks or a skirt.

Bentley is worked top-down and in the round in a completely seamless manner, starting with a double collar and raglan seams with short rows that shape the neckline. The yoke is rather fitted and the body is looser with increase rounds to the hemline for a flattering fit and total comfort.

This design really shows off hand dyed yarns and will look great in any DK or sport weight yarn with good drape that meets gauge.
