Granny Square Shrug Sweater

I had seen a few granny square sweaters and shrugs, and I wanted to try making one. This is a bit more of a "recipe" than a pattern. I have written down exactly how I made one that fit me, but I also have notes on where to make adjustments and try it on to see if you need to make those changes. Materials Needed: 6mm Crochet Hook Red Heart Comfort Yarn-Hot Pink , 1 ball Red Heart Super Saver Black , approximately 1.5 skeins Stitch Marker Tapestry needle (for weaving in ends) Summary: You can really use any granny square to do this. It doesn’t have to be the same size or style as mine. The idea is to make a large granny square, then cinch the top and bottom a lot and the sides a little less. So if you are using a granny square you already have or one that’s different in size, just start with "Securing into Sweater Shape." Abbreviations: st = stitch ch = chain sc = single crochet dc = double crochet sl = slip stitch ...

Open Granny Square Bottom Bag

I wanted to make an Open Granny Square Bottom Bag, but I couldn't find a written pattern anywhere. Maybe I didn't look hard enough, but I ended up making up this one instead. I used an entire skein of variegated Red Heart Super Saver yarn for the body and a small amount from a random skein in my stash for the handles. Materials Needed: 236 yds of the main color (I used Red Heart Super Saver Antique ) Worsted Weight Yarn Less than 1 skien of accent color used for handles. 5mm Crochet Hook Stitch Marker Tapestry needle (for weaving in ends) Summary: Make a granny square with 10 rows (needs to be an even number, this will leave you with an odd number of holes/chain spaces on each side). Note the center chain space before you get started. Work as you would a normal granny square, however, when you get to the center chain space, skip the ch 1 AND skip that ch1 space entirely, then go to the next ch 1 space and co...
