The Classic Granny Sweater & Granny Tee, Crochet tutorial, learn to crochet, Sweater Pattern,

Hey everyone and welcome to The Classic Granny Square Sweater/Granny Tee! This top is made up from 2 granny squares. It is a nice fitting top with no ease around the bust. If you would like a more oversized top then it is super simple, you just need to go up one size and that will give you 10cm positive ease around the bust. This pattern is made to measure so you can use any ply of yarn and hook. I look forward to seeing everyone’s version of The Classic Granny Square Sweater/Granny Tee.
The sweater was made from Paintbox Chunky from Lovecrafts. There is a link in the video if using a computer or in the description if using a mobile.
The colours I used were...
333 - Marine Blue
325 - spearmint green
342 - tea rose
347 - pansy purple
350 - bubblegum pink
321 - daffodil yellow
354 - peach orange

It actually does work faster. That’s the same method people started using in factories in the late 19th-20th century. That’s why mass produced items tend to be cheaper. I wanted to say I love the sweater with the fancy trim! Sorry, I didn’t realize I wrote an encyclopedia in your comments.

I'm working this in all black, and this tutorial should be the standard for how crochet tutorials are done. This has been so easy so far, and it's coming out beautifully. I can't wait to show you. Also, I wanted to add - THANK YOU SO MUCH for making this up to a 5X. There's nothing more frustrating than falling in love with a pattern and then looking at the pattern only for it to go to MAYBE a 2X. I can usually figure it out, but it's less fun.

If your square is flaring out, it might be because your chain is too tight. I often have to go up a size for my chain cause my chains are too tight.

I just found you and have one question. I noticed when you made the basic granny square you chained 2 between the clusters but when you did the add on for the shoulder and back panel on the neck you didn’t. Is that correct or not.

[@CraftandaCuppa]

Hi I only place a ch2 in each corner. There are no chains between the 3dc when working along the edge. I hope that makes sense 🙂

[@lecishaeacholes2651]

[@Lottiwillan]

Hey, I’m hoping to make one of these soon but was wondering how many balls of yarn I’ll need roughly? I’ll be using a chunky yarn (100g balls) and it’ll be a small size jumper. I don’t understand the yardage thing. Thank you 😊

[@CraftandaCuppa]

Hi does it say on your yarn label how many yds are in 100g? 😊

[@Lottiwillan]

@@CraftandaCuppa hi, it says there’s 155 metres in a 100g x

[@CraftandaCuppa]

@@Lottiwillan ok so a size small in chunky yarn is roughly 850m I also used a 10mm hook with nine so if you use a different hook it will alter the yardage. So it's working about 6 skeins of your yarn ❤️
