Sunflower Cropped Cardigan – Sage

Leaves seen in shade have this colour, a soft sage that lets the sunflowers do something gentler than shine: they glow. Each sits in its own square, gold around a dark heart, in an even grid down the body and both sleeves. Cropped to the waist with balloon sleeves gathered into deep cuffs, this cardigan suits a white V-neck and denim shorts on a warm day, or a long skirt when it turns. Wooden buttons close the V. The crochet is light enough to breathe. Joined by hand, the grid shifts a little from row to row, as a joined grid will.
