Step-by-Step Instructions

Creating the Granny Squares

1. Start with a magic ring. This will be the center of your granny square.
2. Round 1:
   • Ch 3 (this counts as your first double crochet).
   • Work 2 double crochets (dc) into the magic ring.
   • Ch 2, then *work 3 dc into the ring, ch 2; repeat from * two more times.
   • Join with a slip stitch (sl st) to the top of the initial ch-3. You should have 12 dc and 4 ch-2 spaces.
3. Round 2:
   • Sl st in the next 2 dc, then sl st into the first ch-2 space.
   • Ch 3, then work 2 dc, ch 2, and 3 dc in the same ch-2 space (this creates a corner).
   • Ch 1, then *(3 dc, ch 2, 3 dc) in the next ch-2 space, ch 1; repeat from * around.
   • Join with sl st to the top of the ch-3. You should have 24 dc and 4 ch-1 spaces.
4. Round 3:
   • Sl st in the next 2 dc, then sl st into the next ch-2 space.
   • Ch 3, then work 2 dc, ch 2, and 3 dc in the same space to create another corner.
   • Ch 1, work 3 dc in the next ch-1 space, ch 1.
   • *(3 dc, ch 2, 3 dc) in the next ch-2 space, ch 1, 3 dc in the next ch-1 space, ch 1; repeat from * around.
   • Join with sl st to the top of the ch-3. You should now have 36 dc and 8 ch-1 spaces.
5. Continue Adding Rounds: Repeat the pattern of creating corners and working in the ch-1 spaces until each square measures 10 cm. You will need to create a total of 30 squares.

Joining the Squares

1. Using a whip stitch or your preferred joining method, join the squares together in a 5x6 grid, leaving openings for the arms.

Creating the Sleeves

1. To add sleeves, crochet directly onto the arm openings.
2. Work in rounds until you reach your desired sleeve length.

Finishing Touches

1. Finish your cardigan with a border of single crochet (sc) around all edges to give it a polished look.

Now that you've completed your Celestial Harmony Granny Square Cardigan, wear it proudly and enjoy the cosmic beauty you’ve created!
