Daisy 2.0, featuring short sleeves, is an oversize tee, worked seamlessly from the top down, at first back and forth, then in the round. The shoulders are shaped using short rows. Front stitches are picked up from the back shoulders and then the neckline is shaped with increases. The intarsia section of the body is worked back and forth and yet sort of in the round with the aid of a loop made at the beginning of the round.
The yarn is a satisfying mix of cotton, viscose, and linen which makes up a drapey fabric - consider this while choosing yarn for this project. The bust circumference of the person in the picture is 85 cm / 33.5” and she is wearing a size 2 tee. You can find a schematic with all measurements from the last page of the pattern.
