If I had been a better embroiderer when my daughter was still a child, this cardigan would have been for her. The arching flowers, applied by my dear friend Midori, are a beautiful addition to an otherwise everyday, soft knit.

The cardigan is worked from the top down with a circular yoke. A small section of short rows is worked at the back of the neck and above the hem for a more comfortable fit. Embroidery using embroidery threads is worked from a diagram.
