Sunpatch T-Shirt

Four sunflowers in a green frame, set down on the chest like a small allotment seen from above. It is a tidy thing, two by two, and that order is the charm: one warm square of summer kept close to the heart. Everything else stays white and calm, with a mustard scallop at the hems to echo the flower centres. Wear the tee with shorts in July and under a cardigan when the evenings cool. The cotton jersey is light and breathable, the patch soft to the touch. The square is crocheted stitch by stitch and sewn on by hand, so its corners keep a gentle, made softness.
