Crochet granny squares
Start by crocheting 16 granny squares with the color combinations you want. If you are not sure how to make a granny square, see video below. Add 2 rounds to the square in the video and you will get the same size that is crocheted in this cardigan. There will be a total of 5 rounds.
Round 1: Crochet a magic ring and in the ring you start with 3 chain stitches, then you crochet 2 double crochets. This will be the first double crochets pair. Then crochet two chain stitches. Repeat this (3 double crochets+2 chain stitches) a total of 4 times. Finish with a slip stitch in the third chain stitch from the start.
Round 2: Change color. Start in one hole and in each hole you crochet three double crochets, two chain stitches, three double crochets, this forms the corners. Do not crochet a chain stitch between the corners. Finish with a slip stitch in the third chain stitch from the start.
Round 3: Change color. Start in a hole where you crocheted two chain stitches. In this hole (the corner) you must crochet three double crochets, two chain stitches, three double crochets. The next hole will be a hole between the corners, here you crochet three double crochets. Then crochet the next corner in the same way as the first and continue in the same way. The corners are therefore crocheted with three double crochets, two chain stitches and three double crochets in the same hole. Between the corners you crochet three double crochets. Finish with a slip stitch in the third chain stitch from the start.
Rounds 4-5: Crochet in the same way as round 3, all corners are crocheted with three double crochets, two chain stitches and three treble crochets in the same hole and between the corners you crochet three double crochets. Finish in the same way as above. In the cardigan in the picture, we have used the same color on the last round of all squares.
Assembling
Step 1. When you are finished with your squares, you place them as shown below and crochet all the squares together. Crochet the squares together on the wrong side of the squares (keep the fine sides towards each other when crocheting together).
Crochet in the stitches that are closest to each other. So in the back loop of the first square and the front loop of the back square. When you have done this, you will get a large piece with all the squares that fit together. ATTENTION! DO NOT crochet together the squares marked in blue in the scheme below (that is the opening of your cardigan). Watch the video below to see the technique you can use to crochet the squares together. There are several techniques and you can use the technique you think is the best, this is just an example.
Step 2. After you crochet all the squares together, follow the steps below on how to assemble the entire piece with all the squares into a cardigan.
a) Crochet the black/grey parts together. This will be a sleeve.
b) Crochet the red parts together. This will be the second sleeve.
c) Crochet the pink parts together. This is below the sleeve and will be the side of your cardigan.
d) Crochet the beige parts together. This is below the other sleeve and will be the other side of your cardigan.
Now you have assembled the entire cardigan.
Final step is to crochet ribbons so that you can tie your cardigan.
Row 1: Crochet a chain of chain stitches, as far as you wish your ribbon. Watch the video if you are not sure how to crochet a chain.
Row 2: Turn and crochet single crochet stitches in all chain stitches starting in the second chain stitch. Crochet all the way until the end of your chain. See below video if you are unsure how to crochet single crochet.
In total, crochet 2 rows per ribbon. You crochet a total of 4 ribbons if you want to be able to tie both at the top of the neck and at the waist.
Then fasten them at the top of the neck and at the waist on each side of the cardigan. See the picture in step 4 how it looks when it is finished.
Hope you like your cardigan! :)
