Rose Patchwork Cardigan

Each square is a small garden of its own. A rose rises from the centre in layered, curled petals, denim blue in one, burgundy in the next, then mustard, lilac and teal, every one set on a round of olive leaves against a cream ground. Taken together, they read like a collector's cabinet of blooms, each given its own place. You can feel every petal under your hand. Crocheted in a cotton blend, this cardigan is soft and breathable, open at the front with gently full sleeves gathered into ribbed cuffs. Wear it over a plain tee or a simple dress. Every rose is crocheted separately by hand, then joined, so no two are alike.
