Pretty flowers border this cardigan, knitted in the round, top-down and shaped to fit with a fly-away front and raglan sleeves. The button band is knit in seed stitch with the body, and the flower stems and leaves are knit, as you go, in a raised stitch (charted). The flower petals are embroidered in an easy lazy daisy stitch. The cardigan is in DROPS SKY—a soft alpaca merino mix with an airy chainette structure that is durable and lightweight.
