Fashionable and functional, our Daisy Apron in easy-care cotton can be crocheted with or without a bid. The apron skirt, waist and ties are crocheted as one piece and soft pleats are incorporated at the waistline. The bib is crocheted separately then sewn to the skirt. Crocheted edging around each piece gives the apron an attractive finished look, as do the crocheted flowers, which are optional.
