Daisy cardigan in English

Daisy cardigan is a long oversized V-neck cardigan with colorful stripes and very long balloon sleeves, designed by my daughter.
It is worked from the top down and has pockets (my suggestion) which turned out to be very useful for keeping a smartphone, inseparable from teens 🙂
