Sunflower Cardigan – Olive

Late fields go this deep khaki, and against it each sunflower glows a little brighter, short yellow petals around a dark plum-brown heart. Where the squares meet, small eyelets open at the corners, tiny windows in an otherwise close weave. The cut is generous and a little longer than usual, falling just past the hip, so this cardigan settles over a shirt, a tee or a fine knit without fuss. Three wooden buttons close the V. The crochet is solid and warming, the cotton blend breathable. Made by hand in squares, so each row drifts a little from the one beside it.
