Not Your Granny's Sweater
Discover the perfect combination of retro charm and modern style with our unique Crocheted Granny Squares Knit Sweater pattern! This eye-catching sweater features beautifully crafted granny squares and a cozy knit body, making it a must-have piece for your wardrobe. Each square is meticulously crocheted and worked flat, then seamlessly joined together using a crochet seam for an authentic touch. The delightful scalloped edges are knitted in the round, then expertly connected to the granny squares using the kitchener stitch for a flawless finish.
To further enhance its design, stitches are picked up from the tops of the crochet squares and knitted up to the point where the raglan begins, creating a smooth and stylish transition. The sleeves mirror the creation process of the body, ensuring a consistent and polished look. To complete this fashion-forward sweater, a rolled neck adds the final touch of sophistication. This pattern offers a comfortable fit with a positive ease of 2-6 inches (5.08-15.24 cm), making it the ideal choice for layering or solo wear.
