Women's Blue Sunburst Handmade Crochet Cropped Cardigan

Deep navy does the quiet work here, holding square after square of sage green, sky blue, cream and caramel, each one ringed out from a pale-blue centre and no two in quite the same order. A fine cream line traces the navy trim along the front, cuffs and hem. Every square is crocheted by hand by a woman artisan in organic cotton, then joined stitch by stitch into a cropped, open-front shape with wide sleeves that finish level with the hem. It is a one-of-a-kind piece: once this cardigan finds its wearer, it will not be made again. Slow fashion, worked at the pace of two hands. Hand wash cold, reshape and dry flat. Do not tumble dry. Cool iron if needed. Cotton 60%, Acrylic 40% Colour: blue
