Ana Chic

Women's Black Handmade Crochet Hooded Maxi Cardigan

Bright granny squares in red, blue, green, pink and orange sit on black grounds and run the full length of the body, down the sleeves and over the hood. Black sashing pulls the colour into order, and a scalloped white-edged border runs down each front. It falls open to the ankle, loose and easy, long-sleeved and hooded. Hand-crocheted square by square by one maker, then quality-checked in our own atelier. Designed in Brighton, made by hand by women artisans in Anatolia. Wear it open over an all-black base and let the colour do the work. Made in a small batch, so no two pieces fall quite the same way. Machine wash at 30C on the hand-wash or wool cycle, or wash by hand in cool water with a mild detergent. Reshape while damp and lay flat to dry, never hang. Do not tumble dry. The yarn softens with every wash. Organic Cotton 60%, Acrylic 40% Colour: black
