Granny's Jumper

I started a new jumper on Saturday, its been on my wish list for ages now. The pattern is by Cassie Ward and in issue 96 of Inside crochet and its called Granny's Jumper.

I had a digital subscription for a year which is handy because all the past patterns are always with me including this one.









So I raided my Stylecraft Special Dk bag of oddments left over from previous blanket designs. Came in very handy! I've decided to join them with the colour Mustard and have used this in the 2nd round. The granny square motif is made up of six rounds then joined with two rounds of the main colour before assembling and adding rows and sleeves.




I hope your week is filled with gorgeous yarn and crochet. I'm also working on a new denim large granny square blanket made in Debbie Bliss Rialto DK Heathers range. Luckilly I bought 12 balls when it was on sale at a local craft shop in Canterbury. Just love the way the denim makes the other colours pop. I plan to add colour to the border. Here is a photo of the custom scarf I made in the same colour a few years ago.





If you want to see my progress this weekend I'll be posting photos onto my Instagram account.

Just popped over and looked at the Grannys Jumper, what a lovely design. I am a great fan of a Granny Square.

I had a look at Granny's Jumper; it's big and bold!! I love the Granny square, but I'm now venturing to make the circle to hexagon using the 'Hexagon How-to' by Lucy of Attic24. Mine is a slight variation of. I look forward to seeing your Granny's Jumper. Best, Jane

Denim Daisy Granny Square construction

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. Construction  Notes:  You need to make 18 grann...

Easy eyelet yoke

I’ve recently started my first top down jumper and I don’t know why I didn’t start one sooner!  Trying on my easy eyelet yoke sweater in June! It’s so chilly I was quite happy to try it on. With just 4 inches of the body to knit before the border and then the sleeves. I’ve knitted in hand dye Aran yarn from Fiona Sew Happy Creative it’s beautiful to knit with and I’m mixing up some skeins I had in my stash including Bee Happy. I’ll use this for the sleeves blending into a similar colour for the end of the sleeves. Really happy with the fit. I chose the Xl size with 5.5mm KnitPro Cubics tips. I think it will need 600g in total (roughly size 14) pattern by Knitatude if you’ve always wanted to try top down knitting I recommend you try this pattern
