Daisy Cardigan – Mint

A checkerboard laid out like a garden bed in spring. Lime and aqua squares alternate, each outlined in lilac, each holding a white daisy with a fat yellow heart that sits up in relief. The colours are sweet-shop bright, but the grid keeps them in order, and the order is what makes them sing. Full balloon sleeves carry the pattern to the cuff, and the front stays open and easy over a white tee and jeans. This cardigan is an organic cotton blend, light and breathable. Crocheted by hand, square after square, the daisies tilting their heads in different directions.
