CROCHET GRANNY SQUARE CARDIGAN TUTORIAL // PART 1: Crocheting The Daisy Squares

[@OpheliaTalks]

The fastest and easiest way to make lots of squares is to do the production line method which I explain in this video! Start with making the amount you think you will need, the assembly layout will be explained in next week's video! The pattern will also be available as of next week! Anja x

[@joaniejohnson3346]

Thanks Anja

[@joaniejohnson3346]

Oh! I’m going to make some of theses daisy squares after I finish my blanket with the smaller daisy’s. I love that cream petal too! Thank you for such pretty artwork. I’ve never had any way to express myself until the art of crochet. Bridgets cardigan is beautiful too! Who knows, I may make that one next spring. Time is moving fast on this side of 2020. ~ Joan Pinner Johnson (Joanie)

[@joaniejohnson3346]

Well, I do make scrapbooks too when I’m inspired. I did that to leave behind some snippets of my kids lives growing up. These cardigans & blankets will be for future generations ☺️

Good idea Joanie, Anja x

WHAT SIZE WOULD IT COME OUT AS IF I ADDED AN EXTRA ROW BEFORE SLEEVES? XX

[@furryfriends2898]

I have a question: what if I use velvet yarn for this jacket?? Do you think velvet yarn looks better or regular yarn for this project?

[@OpheliaTalks]

I really don't know, I've never used the velvet yarns for clothing, I don't see why it wouldn't work, watch your sizing though, good luck, have fun and thank you, Anja x

[@midgethorn4083]

I love the colors of both sweaters, but I really love the blue. Do you have a formula for larger sizes?

[@OpheliaTalks]

There are instructions for larger sizes in the tutorials Midge, Anja x

[@jeannettegaunt9934]

Where can I find the instructions

[@cindyharmon9059]

It’s beautiful! Do you have a pattern for XL, XXL?

I give instructions on how to make bigger sizes in the tutorial, Anja x

[@jeannettegaunt9934]

Where can I find the xxl

[@lindatreend254]

I love this cardigan, Anja!! Is there a yarn bundle available on the website?

[@OpheliaTalks]

No, because I thought people would like to pick their own colours. You can use any type of DK yarn. Stylecraft special dk or Wendy Supreme DK. We stock of course all the colours. The assembly video will be out next week Wednesday. Have fun if you are thinking of making it. I am constantly wearing it.

[@sylviawatts4027]

Can I please ask dose the blue daisy 💙 have 1 more row ro make it longer?

[@OpheliaTalks]

Yes I did extra squares, it is explained in the video, Anja x

[@eli2000]

Following both this and the written pattern, and although I am using the exact same yarn and hook size, my squares are measuring at about 10 cm and not 13😅 do you think it wont matter too much, or should I add another row?

[@OpheliaTalks]

Eli, l would make the squares and lay them out flat, measure them and see if you need an extra row!! Thank you, Anja x

[@jillnorth1937]

Hello, I"m a granny square newbie and want to make this cardigan. I normally wear a size 6-8. My square turns out to be 13cm after the 2nd round of main color. I think my tension is too loose and used a size 4.25 hook. Should I keep going and use less squares or start over? I used the production line method for daisies. Your honest answer is appreciated. Thank You!

[@OpheliaTalks]

Well Jill, you have to ask yourself the question, do I like the squares as they are? If not, then your best option is to frog them all and use a smaller hook, try doing several squares in scrap yarn, each in a different size hook and see what 'material' you like the feel of!! Enjoy this learning process, and don't give up at the first hurdle, you can do this. Anja x

[@hadiadiza1278]

Anja, Can I make it only 4 rows and make longer the size?

[@OpheliaTalks]

Hadia, I'm not sure what you're asking, but you can make it as long or short as you want by adding rows of squares, Anja x

[@hadiadiza1278]

@@OpheliaTalks oh sorry, i mean can I make square smaller than you make it? bcz i tried make daisy square by ur other tutorial ( use green yarn)

[@ellenlowery6497]

Where can I find the written pattern? What yarn are you using ?

[@OpheliaTalks]

There will be a written pattern available on my website, details below the video. In the video I tell you the yarn I'm using all details are given, Anja x

I have been looking for a Mountain Laurel flower. I can’t find one or make one. That talented I ,’m not! Perhaps one of you lovely ladies would know someone that specializes in them.

[@brendaeldridge8422]

Oh, boy did I screw up. I did all my petals, with dc and also my squares with dc🙄 But Iv'e made them all so they will just have to do.

[@OpheliaTalks]

You'll just have to make more squares Brenda! Anja x

[@ruthsmith3373]

Hi Brenda. My tension is quite loose so I tried doing the petals using dc for both petals and granny rows. It came out at 13 cms -the same as @Anya’s. As long as the squares measure the same it won’t matter.

[@brendaeldridge8422]

@@ruthsmith3373 My squares are a little smaller, so I'm putting another round on them, of coure now they are a little bigger,🙄

[@jo-anne8111]

Anja said double crochet ,when there actually actually trebles, and her trebles are double trebles, so it can be confusing always best to watch the actual stitches, but that's the fun it's adaptable ☺

[@dalekemp7033]

How many squares would I need for a size 18 or 20

[@OpheliaTalks]

In the pattern I suggest 96 squares for a L-XL size, hope this helps, thank you, Anja x

How long does the cardigan take to make?

[@OpheliaTalks]

@dairymilkythemouse206 that is impossible for me to answer, it depends on how long it takes you, how much time you can devote to it, and how fast you crochet! Thanks for watching, Anja x

[@dairymilkythemouse206]

Hi Anji, I was mainly asking because I've just spent 3 days making all my squares 😂 I didnt know of I was just slow or something

How many for size 20 xxl. Is there template for layout of squares please

I tell you in the next video kzbin.info/www/bejne/mpKXnWihl8iLaaMsi=bUKXe5vq6fMc0hDr also there is a pattern which you can purchase that has the layout also. As for how many squares I would suggest trying it on to see how many more you will need, Anja x
