Daisied is a v-neck vest featuring a striking daisy motif and a seamless bottom-up construction. It is worked entirely in the round and then steeked to create the neck and armhole openings. This vest is designed with a very cropped fit but the pattern includes instructions on how to lengthen the body. The perfect layering piece for the warmer months of the year.
