Patchwork Slipover – Blue

Like weather over the sea, the blues move across the grid, navy darkening one square as cornflower and pale sky clear the next. Charcoal grey holds every edge the way a harbour wall holds the water. The effect is calm, almost studious. Pull the slipover on over a white shirt and pale trousers and it brings a quiet order to the day. The crochet has weight and texture without bulk, cropped to sit neatly at the high hip, and the organic cotton blend lets it breathe. Crocheted by hand, square by square, each blue finding where it belongs.
