The Classic Granny Sweater/Granny Tee

 

The Classic Granny Square Sweater/Granny Tee

By


Craft and A Cuppa



Hey everyone and welcome to The Classic Granny Square Sweater/Granny Tee! This top is made up from 2 granny squares. It is a nice fitting top with no ease around the bust. If you would like a more oversized top then it is super simple, you just need to go up one size and that will give you 10cm positive ease around the bust. This pattern is made to measure so you can use any ply of yarn and hook, although I would suggest an aran/worsted weight yarn with a 6mm hook. This is what the yarn yardage is based on. I look forward to seeing everyone’s version of The Classic Granny Square Sweater/Granny Tee.

Notes

  • Ch3 counts as a stitch.
  • Ch1 does not count as a st.
  • Turn your work after every row on the granny squares.
  • Weave in ends as you go! Then you barely notice them.
  • Tip - Leave your first centre tail and then weave all of your ends on that side only. This will then become the wrong side of your work.

 

Made to Measure

This top has no positive ease and has a nice fit to it but if you wish to have a more oversized sweater then all you have to do is go up one size which will then give you 10cm positive ease. The sizes range from XS to 5XL. I have provided the measurements that you will be working towards, which are in the measurements chart above.

 

This top is made to measure. You will need to take the width of 1 granny square from the size chart above. For example, size S is around 42cm, keep working up your granny square and checking the measurement straight across the centre to each edge and look to see if your measurement is close to this number, give or take a couple of cms. Once you have reached your desired measurement, head over to next part of the pattern, where I will explain what to do next.

 

 

 

Right let’s crack on!...

                                       Pattern

 

Granny Squares – Make 2

 

If you are changing colour on a round, turn your work and attach your new yarn in any corner chsp, skip the instructions for slst into chsp and go straight from the ch3.

 

Ch4, slst into 1st ch to create a loop.



Round 1

Ch3, 2 dc in the loop, ch2, *3dc in the loop, ch2* rpt this 2 more times, slst to top of ch3 to join.

Pull the loose tail from the beginning to tighten the centre ring.

 

Round 2

Turn your work and slst into the corner chsp, ch3, 2dc in same chsp, *sk 3dc, 3dc – ch2 – 3dc in next corner chsp,* rpt this 2 more times, sk 3 dc,

3dc in the final corner chsp, ch2, slst to top of ch3 to join.

 

Round 3

Turn your work and slst into the corner chsp, ch3, 2dc in same corner chsp, *sk 3dc, 3dc in next gap (in between the 2 Granny Clusters), sk 3dc, 3dc – ch2 – 3dc in next corner chsp,* rpt this 2 more times, sk 3 dc, 3dc in next gap, sk 3dc, 3dc in the final corner chsp, ch2, slst to top of ch3 to join.

 

Round 4

Turn your work and slst into corner chsp, ch3, 2dc in same corner chsp, *sk 3dc, 3dc in next

gap, sk 3dc, 3dc in next gap, sk 3dc, 3dc – ch2 – 3dc in next corner chsp,* rpt this 2 more times, sk 3dc, 3dc in next

gap, sk 3dc, 3dc in next gap, sk 3dc, 3dc in the final corner chsp, ch2, slst to top of ch3 to join.

 

Round 5

Turn your work and slst into the corner chsp, ch3, 2dc in same corner chsp, [sk 3dc, *3dc in next

gap, sk 3dc* rpt along the side until you reach the next corner chsp, 3dc – ch2 – 3dc in next corner chsp] rpt this 2 more times, sk 3dc, *3dc in next gap, sk 3dc* rpt along the side until you reach the final corner chsp, 3dc, ch2, slst to top of ch3 to join.

 

Repeat round 5 until you reach the ‘Width of 1 Granny Square’ measurement from the size chart on page 1. For example, I made a size small, so I kept repeating round 5 until I was close to 42cm. I say ‘close’ because you may not get that exact measurement, but as long as you are very close to it, then it will be fine.

 

Sizes XS – XL need to skip the next section and go to the neckline shaping section.


Adding Extra Width To Sizes 2XL – 5XL



For Sizes 2XL – 5XL, you will stop making your granny square when you reach 57cm and will instead be adding extra rows on opposite sides of the square as you will need it to be wider but not longer. You will need to add extra width to both squares. Below are the measurements you will add to both sides of the square.

 

You will need to make sure you add an even number of rows on each side – not odd. Its ok if it goes over or under your original measurement slightly.

 

2XL will add around 2.5cm on each side which should give you about 62cm width in total

 

3XL will add around 5cm on each side which should give you about 67cm in width in total.

 

4XL will add around 7.5cm on each side which should give you about 72cm in width in total.

 

5XL will add around 10.5cm on each side which should give you about 78cm in width in total.

 


                                              Side Rows For Sizes 2XL – 5XL Only



Row 1

Attach yarn in any corner chsp (as you have been turning your work after each round be sure that the last round of your sts are facing away from you) ch3, dc in same corner chsp, sk 3dc, *3dc in next gap, sk 3dc* rpt to the end of the row, 2 dc in the corner chsp.

 

Row 2

Ch3, turn, sk dc, *3dc in next gap, sk 3dc* rpt to the end of the row, sk dc, dc in final st (top of the ch3 from the previous row).

 

Row 3

Ch3, turn, dc in same st, sk 3dc, *3dc in next gap, sk 3dc* rpt to the end of the row, 2 dc in the final st (top of the ch3 from the previous row).

 

Row 4

Ch3, turn, sk dc, *3dc in next gap, sk 3dc* rpt to the end of the row, sk dc, dc in final st (top of the ch3 from the previous row).


Keep repeating rows 3 and 4 until you reach the measurement for your size. Repeat for the opposite side of the granny square.

 

You will now need to go to the neckline shaping section for sizes 2XL – 5XL only.


Add Neckline Shaping



Sizes XS – XL Only – Front Panel

For the next section you will turn your granny squares into a front panel and a back panel by adding some shaping for the neckline.


You will make the front panel first…

 

You will need your tape measure and some stitch markers. You will take the measurement below for your size and measure along both sides of the top edge, placing a stitch marker in the gap closest to that measurement. Make sure it’s even on both sides.

 

XS will need to measure around 10.5cm on each side.

 

S will need to measure around 13.5cm on each side.

 

M will need to measure around 15cm on each side.

 

L will need to measure around 17.5cm on each side.

 

XL will need to measure around 19.5cm on each side.

 

Now you will add rows of the Granny Stitch along the same place that you have just measured. You will need to keep adding rows until they reach around 6cm in length.


Row 1

Attach yarn in the corner chsp (as you have been turning your work after each round be sure that the last round of your sts are facing away from you) ch3, dc in same corner chsp, sk 3dc, *3dc in next gap, sk 3dc* rpt until you reach the gap with the stitch marker in it, 2 dc in the gap with the stitch marker.

 

Row 2

Ch3, turn, sk dc, *3dc in next gap, sk 3dc* rpt to the end of the row, sk dc, dc in final st (top of the ch3 from the previous row).

 

Row 3

Ch3, turn, dc in same st, sk 3dc, *3dc in next gap, sk 3dc* rpt to the end of the row, 2 dc in the final st (top of the ch3 from the previous row).

 

Row 4

Ch3, turn, sk dc, *3dc in next gap, sk 3dc* rpt to the end of the row, sk dc, dc in final st (top of the ch3 from the previous row).



 

Keep repeating rows 3 and 4 until you reach around 6cm in length. Repeat for the opposite side of the granny square but starting row 1 in the gap with the stitch marker and ending in the corner chsp. Make sure you have the same number of rows each side.

 

Sizes XS – XL Only – Back Panel


Next you will add the same number of rows as the front panel, on to the top edge of the back panel. This time you will just be going straight across the entire edge.

 

Row 1

Attach yarn in the top corner chsp (as you have been turning your work after each round be sure that the last round of your sts are facing away from you) ch3, dc in same corner chsp, sk 3dc, *3dc in next gap, sk 3dc* rpt to the end of the row, 2 dc in the corner chsp.

 

Row 2

Ch3, turn, sk dc, *3dc in next gap, sk 3dc* rpt to the end of the row, sk dc, dc in final st (top of the ch3 from the previous row).

 

Row 3

Ch3, turn, dc in same st, sk 3dc, *3dc in next gap, sk 3dc* rpt to the end of the row, 2 dc in the final st (top of the ch3 from the previous row).

 

Row 4

Ch3, turn, sk dc, *3dc in next gap, sk 3dc* rpt to the end of the row, sk dc, dc in final st (top of the ch3 from the previous row).



Keep repeating rows 3 and 4 until you reach the same number of rows that you added to the front panel.


Sizes 2XL – 5XL Only – Front Panel



For the next section you will turn your granny squares into a front panel and a back panel by adding some shaping for the neckline.

 

You will make the front panel first…

 

You will need your tape measure and some stitch markers. You will take the measurement below for your size and measure along both sides of the top edge, placing a stitch marker in the gap closest to that measurement. Make sure it’s even on both sides.


2xl will need to measure around 21cm on each side.

 

3XL will need to measure around 24cm on each side.

 

4XL will need to measure around 26cm on each side.

 

5XL will need to measure around 28.5cm on each side.


Row 1

Attach yarn around the first dc bar with a slst (see pic) (as you have been turning your work after each round be sure that the last round of your sts on the centre granny square are facing away from you), ch3, 1dc around same dc bar, sk next dc bar, *3dc around next dc bar, sk next dc bar* repeat until you reach the corner chsp where the original granny square begins, 3dc in that chsp, sk 3dc, *3dc in next gap, sk 3dc* rpt until you reach the st marker, 2dc in same gap as the st marker.


Row 2

Ch3, turn, sk dc, *3dc in next gap, sk 3dc* rpt to the end of the row, sk dc, dc in final st (top of the ch3 from the previous row).

 

Row 3

Row 4

Ch3, turn, sk dc, *3dc in next gap, sk 3dc* rpt to the end of the row, sk dc, dc in final st (top of the ch3 from the previous row).



Keep repeating rows 3 and 4 until you reach around 6cm in length. Repeat for the opposite side of the granny square but starting row 1 in the gap with the stitch marker and ending in the corner chsp. Make sure you have the same number of rows each side.


Sizes 2XL – 5XL Only – Back Panel


Next you will add the same number of rows as the front panel, on to the top edge of the back panel. This time you will just be going straight across the entire edge.

 

Row 1

Attach yarn around the first dc bar with a slst (as you have been turning your work after each round be sure that the last round of your sts on the centre granny square are facing away from you), ch3, 1dc around same dc bar, sk next dc bar, *3dc around next dc bar, sk next dc bar* repeat until you reach the corner chsp where the original granny square begins, 3dc in that chsp, sk 3dc, *3dc in next gap, sk 3dc* rpt until you reach the dc bars, sk dc bar, *3dc around next dc bar, sk dc bar* rpt until you reach the final dc bar, 2dc around the final dc bar.

Row 4

Ch3, turn, sk dc, *3dc in next gap, sk 3dc* rpt to the end of the row, sk dc, dc in final st (top of the ch3 from the previous row).


Assembling – All sizes

Stitch counts written as XS (S, M, L, XL, 2XL, 3XL, 4XL, 5XL)



Next you will assemble the front and back pieces together. This will also be a good time to check the fit and the armholes.

 

Place your front panel on top of your back panel so that the RS are both touching each other. You will be working on the WS of the front panel, then through the RS of the back whilst seaming.

 

Take a tape measure and measure down one side from the top 16.5cm (17.5cm, 19cm, 20.5cm, 21.5cm, 23cm, 24cm, 25.5cm, 26.5cm), place a st marker in the gap closest to this measurement (in between the granny clusters), be sure to go through both panels evenly. Rpt for the other side.

 

Now would be a good time to check the fit of your garment. Place st markers in the top corners of the neck and shoulder, and in the bottom corners and a couple evenly down both sides. Gently slip the garment over your head to check the fit and the armhole placement, baring in mind you don’t want too loose sleeves as there is no positive ease and you don’t want excess baggage around the armhole.

 

If you are happy then you can move on to seaming. If you need to adjust the st markers, then now is a good time to do that. If you feel the garment is too tight, then you can add extra rows down opposite sides of the garment to add some extra width. (See 2xl to 5xl adding extra width for guidance) The seam will also some extra width too as we will be using ch2 to seam the panels together.

 

Seaming


You will seam the shoulders together first. Picture Guidance is below. (Please note the pictures show the second shoulder seam being made not the first. You will start at the top far right hand side).

 

With the front panel WS facing you, attach yarn through the first st with a slst (front panel only), ch2, drop the front panel and pick up the back panel (RS should be facing you), attach yarn through the first st with a slst, ch2, drop the back panel, *pick up the front panel, slst in to the next st, ch2, drop the front panel and slst through the next st on the back panel* rpt all across the first shoulder until you reach the final st.

 

Fasten off.

 

Then go over to the other shoulder, starting from the neck end rpt the exact same process as above until you reach the final st. Tip – Its handy to place a st marker in the 1st st of the back panel so you know you are going in the right one.

 

Fasten off and weave in ends.










 You will now use the exact same seaming technique to seam the sides.

 

Starting from the bottom corner, attach your yarn with a slst through the corner chsp of the front panel only, (or 1st st if you added extra rows at opposite sides to widen your square), ch2, slst into corner chsp of back panel only, ch2, *slst into the next st on the front panel, ch2, slst into the next st on the back panel ch2* Rpt all the way across until you reach the gap with the st marker, be sure to place the final st in the back panel.

 

Fasten off.

 

Rpt for other side but starting from the st marker and working your way across to the corner chsp. Be sure to start in the same st that you ended in on the opposite side.

 

Fasten off and turn your garment so its RS facing out.


Sleeves – Granny Tee

 

Next you will attach your sleeves.

 


Round 1

With your sweater RS facing you, attach yarn with a slst around the underarm seam bar, ch3, 2dc around the same seam bar, *sk 3dc, 3dc in next gap,* rpt until you reach the dc bars (from the neckline shaping), you will now continue the same pattern but instead of skipping 3dcs, you will sk a dc bar, rpt this all the way around until you come back to the original granny square pattern, *3dc in the next gap, sk 3dc* rpt until you reach the start of the round, slst to top of the ch3 to join.

 Round 2

If using a new colour, turn your work so WS is facing you and attach new yarn with a slst in the gap where you fastened off for the previous row.

 Ch3, turn, 2dc in same gap, sk 3dc, *3dc in next gap, sk 3dc,* rpt all the way around, slst to top of ch3 to join.

 Keep repeating row 2 until you are happy with the length of your Tee. As a guide I added around 12cm of length for mine.

 Round 3

Once you are happy with your length you will finish off the Tee sleeve with one round of sc.

 Make sure your garment is RS facing you, ch1, sc in same st, sc in every st, slst to top of 1st sc to join.

 If you went up one size, then I would suggest doing a decrease round of sc, for example 5sc, sc2tog rpt. Try the Tee on to check the fit, if you need it looser then try 6sc, sc2tog. If you would like it tighter then try 4sc, sc2tog.

 Fasten off, weave in ends and rpt for the other sleeve.

 Head to the neckline section!

Sleeves – Granny Sweater

Round 1

With your sweater RS facing you, attach yarn with a slst around the underarm seam bar, ch3, 2dc around the same seam bar, *sk 3dc, 3dc in next gap,* rpt until you reach the dc bars (from the neckline shaping), you will now continue the same pattern but instead of skipping 3dcs, you will sk a dc bar, rpt this all the way around until you come back to the original granny square pattern, *3dc in the next gap, sk 3dc* rpt until you reach the start of the round, slst to top of the ch3 to join.

 Round 2

If using a new colour, turn your work so WS is facing you and attach new yarn with a slst in the gap where you fastened off for the previous row.

 Ch3, turn, 2dc in same gap, sk 3dc, *3dc in next gap, sk 3dc,* rpt all the way around, slst to top of ch3 to join.

 Keep repeating row 2 until you reach the measurements below…

 (If you are making it for yourself, then I suggest you keep trying it on until you are happy with the length. Keep in mind there will be an option to cuff your sleeve or leave it as it is).

 No cuff

XS – 43CM   S – 44CM    M – 44.5CM   L – 45.5CM   XL – 46CM   2XL – 46.5CM   3XL – 46.5CM   4XL – 48CM

5XL – 43CM


You will measure your sleeve from the underarm and outwards until you reach your desired length.

 If you decide that you don’t want to cuff your sleeve, then you will just finish off with 1 round of sc...

 Last Round – No Cuff - RS

Ch1, (if necessary, turn your work so RS is facing you), sc in same st, sc in every st, slst to 1st sc to join.

 Fasten off, weave in ends and repeat for other sleeve.

 

 Cuff


The first round will be a decrease round. How much you decrease is completely up to you.

 

This round needs to end on an even number in order to make the ribbing.


Round 1 RS

Ch1, (if necessary, turn your work so RS is facing you), sc in same st, sc2tog, *sc in next st, sc 2tog,* rpt all the way around, if your last st falls on an odd number you can either sk it or place 2 sc in the final st, slst to 1st sc to join. (Stitch count should be an even number)

 

Round 2 RS

Ch3, dc in next st, dc in every st, slst to top of ch3 to join. (Stitch count should be an even number)

 

Round 3 RS

Ch1, fpdc straight down around ch3 from the previous round, bpdc around the next st, *fpdc around the next st, bpdc around the next st* rpt to the end (your final st will be a bpdc), slst to 1st fpdc to join. (Stitch count should be an even number)

 

Round 4 RS

Ch1, fpdc straight down around 1st st from the previous round, bpdc around the next st, *fpdc around the next st, bpdc around the next st* rpt to the end (your final st will be a bpdc), slst to 1st fpdc to join. (Stitch count should be an even number)

 

Rpt round 4 as many times as you wish or aim for the length of the sleeve without a cuff which should you take you to down to the wrist.

Fasten off and rpt for the other sleeve.

 

 

 Neckline

 

Lay your sweater out flat so the front is facing you.

 


If you have an odd number of rows that you added to your square for the neckline shaping, then you will attach your yarn around the seam bar in the back left corner.





 If you have an even number of rows that you added to your square for the neckline shaping, then you will attach your yarn in the 1st st after the seam bar in the back left corner.



Round 1 - RS

Ch 3, 2dc around same seam bar/st (depending on whether your odd or even), sk over the next dcs, 3dc in next gap, *sk 3 dc, 3dc in next gap* rpt until you reach the final gap along the back neckline, (if odd – sk 3dc and place 3dc around the seam bar, if even – sk over the next dc and place 3dc in the 1st st before the seam bar), sk over next dc/seam bar, *3dc around next dc bar, sk next dc bar,* rpt until you reach the first gap on the front neckline, *3dc in the gap, sk 3dc,* rpt until you reach the last gap on the front, 3dc in that gap, sk next dc bar, *3dc around next dc bar, sk next dc bar,* rpt until you reach the beginning of the round, slst to top of ch3 to join.

 

Round 2 – RS – FINAL ROUND FOR THE GRANNY TEE

Ch1, sc in same st, sc in the next 4 sts, sc2tog, *sc in next 5 sts, sc 2tog,* rpt all the way around, if your last st falls on an odd number you can either sk it or place 2 sc in the final st, slst to 1st sc to join. (Stitch count should be an even number)

 

If making the Granny Tee, fasten off and weave in ends. Head over to the Bottom Hem Section.

 

Round 3 - RS

Ch3, dc in next st, dc in every st, slst to top of ch3 to join. (Stitch count should be an even number)

 

Round 4 RS

Ch1, fpdc straight down around ch3 from the previous round, bpdc around the next st, *fpdc around the next st, bpdc around the next st* rpt to the end (your final st will be a bpdc), slst to 1st fpdc to join. (Stitch count should be an even number)

 

I fastened off after this round as I used chunky yarn for my sweater but if you need to add extra rounds then continue below…


Round 5 RS

Ch1, fpdc straight down around 1st st from the previous round, bpdc around the next st, *fpdc around the next st, bpdc around the next st* rpt to the end (your final st will be a bpdc), slst to 1st fpdc to join. (Stitch count should be an even number)
