Bloom Crop Top

Big daisies across the front, each given a square of its own, like portraits hung in a row. Blush on turquoise, cream on gold, olive on magenta: every pairing is a small decision, and none of them repeats. The petals are worked in raised stitches, so they stand off the ground and catch the light. Butter-yellow scallops edge the bandeau and climb the narrow straps. Wear this top with high-waisted jeans and bare shoulders, or with the matching skirt for the whole garden. A cotton blend, light on warm skin. Crocheted by hand, a square finished before the next begins.
