Materials Needed

• Yarn: Worsted weight yarn in the following colors:
  • Midnight Blue
  • Silver
  • Deep Purple
• Crochet Hook: 5.0 mm crochet hook
• Gauge: 4 granny squares = 10 inches

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Create 30 Granny Squares:
   1. Round 1: Using midnight blue, make a magic ring. Chain 3 (this counts as your first double crochet), then work 2 double crochets (dc) into the ring. Next, *chain 2, and work 3 dc into the ring*; repeat from * to * three more times. Finally, chain 2 and slip stitch (sl st) to the top of your initial chain 3 to join the round.
   2. Round 2: Join silver yarn. Chain 3, then work 2 dc in the same space. Chain 1, then *work 3 dc in the next chain-2 space, chain 2, and work 3 dc in the next chain-2 space, chain 1*; repeat this around. Finish by slip stitching to the top of your initial chain 3.
   3. Round 3: Join deep purple yarn. Chain 3 and work 2 dc in the same space. Chain 1, then *work 3 dc in the next chain-1 space, chain 1, and (3 dc, chain 2, 3 dc) in the next chain-2 space, chain 1*; repeat this around. End with a slip stitch to the top of your initial chain 3.
2. Block Each Square: Use a steam iron or blocking board to shape each granny square to measure 5 inches on each side.
3. Arrange Squares: Lay out the squares in a 5x6 grid for the back and sides of the cardigan, ensuring to leave space for the armholes.
4. Seam Squares Together: Use a whip stitch or your preferred joining method to seam the squares together, forming the back and sides of the cardigan.
5. Create Sleeves: For each sleeve, crochet an additional 10 squares. Join these squares in a tube shape and attach them to the armholes of the cardigan.
6. Add a Border: With midnight blue yarn, single crochet (sc) around all edges of the cardigan. Be sure to work 3 sc in each corner to maintain a neat finish.
7. Weave in Ends: Use a yarn needle to weave in all loose ends from your work.
8. Final Blocking: Block the entire cardigan to shape, ensuring all squares lay flat and the cardigan has a polished look.

Now you have your very own Celestial Harmony Granny Square Cardigan! Enjoy wearing your cosmic creation or gift it to someone special.
