This size-inclusive granny square cardigan from Joy of Motion Crochet is a fantastic way to turn a classic motif into a staple wardrobe piece. Since it fits sizes from XS to 5XL, it’s a truly accessible project for any maker. It’s the perfect next step if you’ve already mastered blankets and want to try your hand at crochet wearables!
The construction is straightforward: you crochet multiple squares in your six favorite colors and then assemble them according to a provided layout. You have total control over the finished look based on how you join them – whether you prefer a simple whip stitch or a more seamless “join as you go” method. By adding a cohesive border and choosing a single color for the final round of every square, you can give the cardigan a polished, professional finish. If you want a long coat instead of a standard sweater, you can easily just add more rows of squares to the body!
