Grace’s sweater: a classic cardigan for the wee girly girl in your life. A bodice of daisy stitch is joined with a simple stockinette yoke and garter edges for a sweet, but timeless, garment! The sweater is finished with matching buttons for a traditional look; try adding contrasting buttons to give the cardigan a modern feel.

The sweater is worked in one piece from the bottom up. The body is knit first, and then the sleeves are knit and joined to the body to form the yoke. Choose a solid or semi-solid color to highlight the elegant texture of the daisy stitch.
