The Daisy Chain Sweater is a floral colorwork pullover worked in the round from the top down. It is a raglan sweater with a twist: the division of body and sleeves differs from a classic raglan, and the increases are varied to give it a sportier fit and a slightly boat-neck shaped collar.
The Daisy Chain Sweater is worked top-down. The sweater begins with the folded neckband. The yoke is then worked as a top-down raglan (Raglan worked from the top) following the charts. Once the yoke is complete, the sleeves and body are separated and worked individually. This pattern uses charts throughout.
