Notes

Because I used bigger yarn than in the pattern, my gauge was quite a lot bigger. I knitted the cardigang 2 sizes smaller than the one I nedded acording to the pattern, which resulted in the correct size with the bigger yarn.

I ended the sleeves with fewer stitches than the pattern. This size called for a decreased to 40 stitches but i decrease to 30 stitches to get a more poofy sleeve.

I crocheted the Daisy flower this way:
With Infinity Hearts Lily yarn and a 2,5 mm hook: 5 sc into magic circle. Then make 2 sc into each of these 5 stitches, resulting in a total of 10 stitches. Cut yarn and sew the end to the second stitch of the round to make an invisible seam. Leave a long tail for sewing th flower onto the cardigan.

With Sheepjes whirlette in color “Ice” and a 2 mm hook: Pull yarn through one of the 10 stitches. Then ch 9, dc into the back bump of the 3rd stitch from the hook. 1 dc into the next 5 stitches, making a total of 6 dc. Sl st into the same first stitch, you started this petal from. Sl st into the next sc stitch of the 10 stitches made of the orange yarn. repeat until you have 10 petals. Fasten off and leave a long tail for sewing the petals to the cardigan.

Sew the flower to the cardigan.

Crochet the stem using slip stitches. You do so by having the working yarn on the wrong side, and doing the sl sts on the right side. Use this same technique to crochet the leaf. Fasten off and sew in all ends.
