This pattern has been inspired by the lovely ‘lazy-daisy’ stitch and the simplicity of the lovely daisy flower. In my mind’s eye, I see a lovely field of daisies slowly nodding their heads in the breeze all through this little kerchief. Hope you see it too, and enjoy wrapping this daisy kerchief around your neck.

I guess I should also give credit to my all time favourite movie “You’ve got mail” where this lovely flower makes it’s presence in a large vase that is lovingly hugged :)
