Violet Patchwork Cardigan – Black

The whole rainbow, held in place by black. Inside each square a flower opens in a different colourway, red with orange, blue with pink, green beside yellow, and the black grid around them does what ink does in a drawing: it makes the colour hold its line. Bold, never busy. Oversized and long-sleeved, this cardigan falls to the hip and wants to be thrown open over black, white or denim. The crochet is chunky and warm, but the organic cotton blend still lets it breathe. Every square is crocheted and joined by hand, so the flowers never meet the same neighbours twice.
