Beatirce Cardi {knitting pattern}

Beatrice Cardi is a boho-woodsy inspired cardigan-coat.  The chunky weight, longer length, oversized body and sleeves make this a cozy sweater you won’t want to take off. The ¾-length puffy sleeves; unusual front band and pocket flaps; and the tassel details give this Cardi a unique and special feel.  Although the Beatrice Cardi is only offered in one size, its oversized-positive-ease style has room to fit many shapes and sizes.
And, working top-down allows you to try on as you knit, making modifications where needed.
