Bridget is a cute, almost flouncy cardigan with pleated swing details and three quarter sleeves.

An easy to wear style, gently a-line shaped, achieved with back gathering and front pleats/tucks.

The details are enough to keep the knitting interested, while being quite easy.

Sized from XS-XXL, with 2-4” of positive ease while buttoned.
