mini daisy would work for a scarf too but in squares
A few fill-ins for the Daisy Granny Square


The Mini Star scarf has made a lovely Christmas pressie and not taken too long to make, a few of these for Santa may be!


Never though l would enjoy making something so fiddly and tiny either
Thanks Sophie Digard for the inspiration
