Video Tutorial on how to Crochet Long Cardigan Granny Square Pattern

Designer tips for making a larger size – 

My recommendations for larger sizes would be to use a larger crochet hook as well as making more rounds on your granny squares.

Working a repeat of round 6 once or twice should make your squares larger.

You may also make this longer by adding more squares to the length of your cardigan.

Another suggestion would be to add additional rounds around each panel when you single crochet around each piece to give it a larger size/width to accommodate your size.

To determine the fit of the upper arm: You will have to take your upper arm measurement and make sure your squares are made accordingly. ALL SQUARES HAVE TO BE THE SAME SIZE IN THIS ENTIRE PROJECT.
