What do cardigan sweaters and kindness have in common? Well, we associate both with Mr. Rogers. On November 13th we are reminded that kindness is really what brings us together, as Mr. Rogers would say
“There are three ways to ultimate success: The first way is to be kind. The second way is to be kind. The third way is to be kind.”
We couldn’t agree more. There is no better way to remind ourselves of that quote than to wear a cardigan sweater this November the 13th. I think nobody will disagree with me if I say that this world needs kindness more than ever before. This holiday is catching on not only in the US but globally and we can’t be happier that our favorite garment, a cardigan sweater, is associated with Mr. Rogers.
What colors were Mr. Rogers’ cardigans?
Although we associate Mr. Rogers with a red cable knit, zip-up front cardigan, he wore an entire collage of cardigan sweaters throughout his TV show’s 30 yearlong span. Ranging from black, olive green, white, gold, navy blue, baby blue, various shades of brown, and quite a few colors in between. Most of the cardigans he wore on and off the set were knitted by his mother, Nancy Rogers.
Many cardigan aficionados were wondering how many cardigans did he have and what colors were they? Did he have a favorite color? These questions prompted some diehard fans of Mr. Rogers to research this matter further and find answers for us. Artist, Owen Philips recorded colors of cardigans worn by Mr. Rogers’ from 1979 to 2001 and turned them into an artistic collage. While working on this project, to his amazement, Philips came across people that are like him who are fascinated by Mr. Rogers’ cardigans. That is when he stumbled upon a neighborhood archive website, which is loaded with valuable information about Fred and his legacy.
