-Daisy-
He loves me, he loves me not, he loves me, he loves me not, he loves me! Oh, for those lazy summer days when you
had the time to play the daisy game to determine your future love life! This breezy, little top will take you right back
there. The Daisy top begins with a provisional cast on and is worked from the bottom up. You will work in the round to
the armholes and then back and forth to complete the front and back. The delicate leaf border is then applied to the
hem and armholes, and a crocheted neckline completes the picture.
