The GRANNY SQUARE CARDIGAN is a real must have during the colder days, especially if you love cheerful colors. Within this design you can combine all sorts of colors. The possibilities are endless and the cardigan will also be lovely with any other main color in combination with the cheerful colored granny squares. This project is a combination of knitting and crochet. The front and back pieces are crocheted. The sleeves are knitted with circular needles and worked in the round in stockinette stitch. The ribbing along the bottom is worked on straight knitting needles.
