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.
