Granny Squares sweater is made in one of my favorite colors: turquoise combined with off-white color. I had this yarn for almost 3 years, I have bought it on a vacation, as a souvenir and I just didn’t know what to crochet or knit with it, and I’ve kept it for something special!

 

I love this  Granny Square sweater! It looks even better than I’d imagined! It’s so soft and warm, perfect for this autumn and so easy to crochet it. In just 2 or 3 days you can have a new lovely sweater in your favorite colors.

 

The final dimensions of the Granny Squares sweater are: 46 cm (18 “) width and 60 cm (23,5”) long (including the shoulders).

For this sweater, I’ve used 300 g and 300 g and a 4 mm hook.

 

A soft and fabulous acrylic yarn in a variety of beautiful colors. I love the amazing colorways, there is something for everyone and they can be combined so beautifully. Here you can buy this yarn:

The Video Tutorial for the Granny Square:

 

For this pattern, you have to crochet 18 granny squares: 9 for the front and 9 for the back. Join together 9 granny squares to make the front panel and the other 9 for the back panel.

From now on you will need to work around the front panel and the back one so that you will form the back and the front of your sweater. Both sides work in the same way. First I will show you a chart of how to do it:

 

Now, to finish the front panel you have to crochet 2 rows of dc on the left and right side. After that, you need to crochet 5 rows for the shoulders. See how to do it in the chart above. For me is much easier to make that directly on the panel, but you can crochet the sides and the shoulders separately and then sew it with the front panel.

Crochet the same as the back panel.

 

Sew both front and back panels together, don’t forget the armholes.

The sleeves: 

I’ve crocheted the sleeves directly on the top. But you can crochet them separately and sew them on the sweater.

Starting from the armhole you can make the sleeves in rounds with dc sts. Or you can crochet back and forth with dc sts. For the last 7-10 rounds crochet the ribbing.

For the neckline follow the chart below:
