Granny square cardigan
With just a few classic granny squares you can make this amazing longline cardigan!

Granny squares are used to create this fun cardigan, for an exciting take on this classic crochet motif. Fringing adds a charming finish that lets the garment truly flow. The cardigan is comprised of three types of motif – patterned, plain, and half-square – which join at the end, making this a fully portable project.
To hook up this fantastic pattern, you’ll need:
Debbie Bliss Rialto DK (100% merino wool, 50g/105m) in Teal (20), Ecru (2), Chocolate (5), Mustard (99) and Scarlet (12)
A 5mm (US H/8) hook
You’ll find the full pattern, yarn quantities and measurements for this cardigan inside issue 90.
