Patchwork Slipover – Terracotta

The palette of a sunlit wall late in the afternoon: burnt orange, rust and mustard trading places with dusty pink and cream. Charcoal runs every join in a steady line, so all that warmth stays in order. Put the slipover on when the light begins to fade, over a long sleeve, and it carries a little of that golden hour with it. Cropped to the high hip with a round neck, it pulls on easily, and the crochet has a reassuring weight. Each square is crocheted by hand around its own centre, and the warm tones gather in a different order every time.
