Dancing Daisy - Pattern

Dancing Daisy is a raglan sweater for all ballerinas who love to dance. The sweater is knitted with a yarn of Arwetta together with a yarn of Tilia. The body is knitted in stocking stitch while the sleeves are knitted in a bubble pattern. All rib edges are knitted with a twisted knit (the stitch is knitted in the back loop) and a purl stitch.

About the embroidery:

The Dancing Daisy and the flowers are embroidered with only one type of stitch, backstitch. Follow the drawings in the pattern.

We first embroider the outline around the shapes, then we fill in with colors inside (fill stitches).

The fill stitches should be as close as possible to avoid the background color showing through. They can be overlapped to your advantage.

It's nice to vary the length of these stitches.

NB! The look will be most beautiful if you let the stitches follow the curves of the shapes.

It is up to you whether you want to buy the embroidery thread we have used, or whether you want to use leftover yarn that you already have. NB! Remember that if you use leftover yarn, you must be sure that the yarn you embroider with is made of the same material as the yarn you knit the vest with. We therefore recommend embroidering a little on a sample patch and test washing it, if you are unsure about the yarn choice. Different quality of yarn can cause the garment to be damaged in the wash.
