Jajim Patchwork Cardigan

Parisa learned jajim from her grandmother's loom before she ever picked up a crochet hook — the narrow woven strips, sewn edge to edge into a blanket, each strip a slightly different color run. She carries the same strip-by-strip color logic into crochet, working one granny square at a time in saturated pink, teal, violet, and green wool, then joining the squares into panels the way her grandmother joined woven strips. This open, floor-length cardigan is unlined and unstructured, meant to be worn open over bare skin, finished with a hand-knotted fringe hem in the same undyed cream as the square borders. Every square is a different color combination — no two cardigans repeat the same sequence. Hand-crocheted to order in Amsterdam.
