MillaMia Bengt Cardigan PDF

The MillaMia Bengt Cardigan has a retro-inspired style that can feel right at home in a modern wardrobe. With a straight fit, high collar, and striking stranded colorwork, this sweater is a statement piece that will also be warm and cozy to wear. This sweater is knit flat in pieces from the bottom up and seamed with a zipper inserted during finishing. MillaMia Naturally Soft Merino is a smooth and machine-washable wool yarn that's wonderful to work with and to wear and its crisp stitch definition is great for showing off stitch patterns. Add color and warmth to any casual outfit with the Bengt Cardigan! Stranded Colorwork patterns are charted only.
