Ladies Daisy Granny Square Jumper
Materials
Dk / weight 3 yarn
3.5 and 4 mm crochet hooks
I used what yarn I have in my stash. I needed to use some of it up before I buy any more! So I recommend raiding your stash and making your jumper with what you have already got, it will make it really unique and clear some stash too!
I enjoyed making mine and have started making a cardigan version, that will be available soon!
For the daisies I used
King Cole Cottonsoft DK in white (600 metres)
Antique Gold (200 metres)
Main colour
Elements Panoramic DK in shade Desert (1200 metres)
(4 balls) 60% Acrylic 40% Cotton (300 metres per 100g)
Edging
Hobbii Portobello shade 56 (140 metres)
For my example I made XL / 2XL size so the above metres will be less for the smaller sizes.

Pattern notes
This pattern will work with any 4” granny square of your choice.
You can join the squares any way that you like. I joined with the join as you go method, but had to join each square one by one as I was using the same ball of yarn for the last two rows. Video here
If you haven’t tried the join as you go before, I highly recommend giving it a try, its so easy once you have mastered it and can be applied to so many future projects!
I made round 3 and 4 with the main colour, joining on round 4.
Each square turned out unique and I alternated where I placed them. I think it looks like a patchwork quilt.
The below diagrams show the finished chest sizes, the square placements and required squares for each size. (I did an extra row of squares on my sleeves as I have long arms).
The ch3 counts as the first stitch.
The ch1 or 2 is not counted as a stitch.
The size medium needs two half squares for the neckline otherwise it will be too wide.
There are lots of different ways to alter the pattern to suit your needs, here are a few:
The jumper can be made longer by adding another row of squares or shorter by doing one less row of squares, the same applies with the sleeves.
If you are between sizes and don’t want your jumper to be too large you could make the smaller size and add a row or two of granny stitch down each side seam to make it a bit bigger.
You could also make the smaller size go up half a hook size to make your squares slightly bigger, or make the bigger size and go down half a hook size to make your squares slightly smaller.
Size XS/S finished chest 32” 62 Squares
Size M/L finished chest 40” 81 squares + 2 halfs
Size XL finished chest 48” 94 Squares

Start the neck here (first photo), working around the back of the neck, then as approaching the front corner and after the corner slst 3 stitches instead of 2, I did this 6 times, then the same at the last corner, it helps shape the neckline.
