Brunnera — The creation
In the undergrowth, sheltered by tall trees, Brunnera macrophylla forms a carpet. A dark green, dense, discreet carpet — waiting.
All winter, it waits. And then, in spring, without warning, it covers itself with tiny, intense blue flowers, exactly like forget-me-nots, exactly as if the sky had settled on the ground.
That blue, in that green, in that filtered light of the undergrowth — it's one of the most beautiful things spring knows how to do.
Brunnera was born from this image: rebirth.
Because we are reborn every new morning, just as Siberian bugloss is reborn every spring, faithful, punctual, luminous.
The construction plays on the rhythm of textures — like the different layers of an undergrowth, each with its own density, its own light.
Horizontal bands alternate regularly: tight stitch, dense and opaque like moss on the ground.
Openwork mesh stitch, transparent like the light filtering through the leaves.
Fan and shell stitch, curved and generous like unfurling ferns.
This play of opacity and transparency creates a graphic, lively fabric that changes with angle and light.
All in a uniform and luminous pale sky blue — that precise blue of forget-me-not flowers, neither too dark nor too pale, which effortlessly dresses from morning to night.
Slightly flared boat neck, short cap sleeves with natural dropped edge, straight, slightly oversized cut, identical front and back.
Entirely hand-crocheted in my French workshop.
