Daisy Chain Sweater

I've just finished working on my new knitting design - Daisy Chain Sweater.

I think this top will be a perfect addition for the summer wardrobe of my little one. I've managed to complete it just in time for her summer holidays :)

This sweater has short raglan sleeves and wide boat neck. It is knitted in the round and has no any seams! Stockinette stitch is combined with pretty lace stitch around the waist, sleeves and neck edge.
The sweaters front is decorated with knitted flower and matching button.

The photo shoot was a real fun this time:

I used Mary maxim Fresh yarn to make this top. It looks really great on summer projects.

The knitting pattern for the Daisy Chain Sweater is available from my pattern stores:

Flower Spirits Hat

The weather is still warm and sunny here in the UK so I used my chance to take pictures of my new knitted design - Flower Spirits Hat.

It was a bit difficult to take pictures because the yarn is so bright even in the shadow. My little princess was so actively modeling and changing her positions and faces every moment. But anyway we had a great fun during our photo shoot this morning.

This cozy beanie is knitted with beautiful lace pattern and DK/8-ply weight cotton yarn from Rico Design in bright fuchsia color. I really love this color and quality of this yarn. I have already used it to knit my Papillon bolero this summer. The hat is decorated with a large knitted flower.
