The Daisy sweater is worked from top down with circular needles. First, the back yoke is worked flat, with shoulder increases. Then, you pick up stitches from the shoulder edges to form the front. Both parts of the front are worked separately, while shaping the neckline. Then, the front and back are joined for working in the round, before the side openings. The sleeves are worked in the round, from the stitches that are picked up from the armholes. The neckline is finished with the i-cord.
