Proof that simplicity can be the height of elegance, Bedford is a timeless women’s longline cardigan knit in Valley Yarns Becket. It features a ribbed collar, pleasing (and comfortable!) A-line shaping, and useful pockets to hold life’s little essentials while keeping your hands warm. The cardigan is knit flat in one piece from the bottom up to the armholes. The body is then divided for the back and the fronts and then seamed. The sleeves are picked up around the armhole edge and worked in the round down to the ribbed cuffs.
