Long Cardigan – Black & Pink

Night holds the colour still. On black, every square opens in rounds of fuchsia, salmon, plum and milk-white, like a posy seen from directly above, and because the dark runs between them the pinks look chosen rather than scattered. This long cardigan falls past the hips and hangs open, with nothing to fasten, so it wears like a light coat over a slip dress, or over a white tee and jeans when the evenings cool. The cotton blend has body without heat and moves with you instead of clinging. Women artisans crochet each square round by round, and no two pinks settle in quite the same order.
