Two months on and still the same amount of granny squares, but I have made a slight change. I kept looking at the pale cream borders on my granny squares last night and decided they needed more colour. So I un-picked half of them and added red, cornflower blue and apple green borders which I think is lovely and bright. So I've ditched the cardi (that can wait will January!) and I'm back into my crochet. It's true the more you crochet the easier it becomes and more addictive! Just one thing, my granny squares have 4 rounds which I think look cute. How many rounds do you crochet yours? Lots of blogs suggest 7 rounds. I have opted for 5 with the 5th round being crochet as I join them together.
And here it is all finished last Friday, just in time for a heat wave! Seriously I do love this jumper and it fits so well with a white t shirt underneath, jeans and flip flops. Just waiting for the cold spell so that I can wear it out (rather than around the garden when its cooled down in the evenings!). I haven't written a pattern as such just some helpful notes from my pad. If people want to know how to construct one have added some notes below. As you know the Daisy Granny Square is the design of Sue Pinner from her book Granny Squares published 2013. I do love Sue's book, its packed with so many projects and ideas and the photos are beautiful. The daisy granny square pattern is quite addictive and you soon have a small pile of them in no time! I have an idea to make another one for the autumn in the same Debbie Bliss Rialto DK yarn but all edged in shade 90 honey, I have enough in my stash.
