Sunflower Cropped Cardigan – Blue

Like a painted shutter on a whitewashed wall, strong blue carries the sunflowers in a steady grid. The pairing is old and simple: yellow and blue, sun and sky, the two colours that make a summer day legible from far away. Cropped at the waist with rounded sleeves gathered into deep cuffs, this cardigan wants a white dress, or a crisp shirt and jeans. Three wooden buttons close the V. The crochet holds its shape, and the organic cotton blend stays light on warm afternoons. Each square is worked by hand, which is why the rows never repeat exactly.
