Lazy Daisy Cardigan
Lazy Daisy Cardigan is a classic open front drop shoulder cardigan with a trendy twist with its cropped fit and embroidered daisies. The button band is knit as you go so picking up stitches is minimal with this design! Embroider contrasting daisies for a pop of color or go with a monochromatic cardigan for something more timeless.
