Strawberry Cardigan – Pink & Olive

The olive border scallops along the hem like leaves at the edge of a fruit bed, and inside it, on dusty pink, strawberries ripen. Each berry sits raised, with its own small leaf cap, and two patch pockets make this a garment you live in rather than look at. Cropped and full in the sleeve, the cardigan wants a white tee, dark jeans and a slow weekend. The merino wool blend brings warmth and softness, the green edging a calm line around the sweetness. Every strawberry is crocheted and sewn on by hand, so the harvest is never laid out the same way twice.
