I feel like the colors are the same as what I saw my mom wear and the Afghan we had on the back of the couch, but they're emphasized differently. Like the black was much more prominent making the old ones darker.
It is a bit tedious, since you need quite a few of those patches, but to me it was a fun thing to do to relax! Took me about 4 weekends on and off working on it : )
I could have sworn it's impossible to make crochet clothes that are so easily wearable nowadays. I have to admit, the colorful patches do remind me a bit of potholders we had when I was a kid, but it's faint and the cardigan looks great, maybe the nostalgia even adds to it.
Honestly, that "potholders" nostalgia is just what made me love this pattern so much :D I like the weird vibe, but I think it's just in such a way that it still looks nice hahah
Wow thats super cool!
Some things are just better made by hand and You look very nice, the colors are also very vibrant which really pulls it all together great job!
