The Daisy Chain Cardi is all about playing with a yarn that brings a little bit of joy, whimsy and fun into your day-to-day life! As you work this cardigan, have fun seeing which trim comes next as you go along. This cardi is knit on big needles in an open and airy stockinette stitch pattern. You’ll piece the cardi panels together as you go, pick up stitches around the armholes and knit your sleeves. The very last step is picking up stitches along the cardi edges to create a ribbed edge border.
