Openwork Cardigan

Light passes through this cardigan. Each square opens at its centre into a small sunburst of air, so whatever you wear beneath, a dark vest or bare shoulders, shows faintly through like a shadow behind lace curtains. All one quiet cream, it relies on texture rather than colour: open work across the body, a denser bobble stitch on the sleeves, ribbed cuffs and hem. Crocheted in an organic cotton blend, it is breathable and light, a layer for warm evenings and cool rooms alike. Leave it open and let it hang. Every square is worked by hand, which is why the pattern never repeats exactly.
