In this video I’m showing you how to crochet a granny square sweater the easy, budget-friendly way—using just 4 granny squares. I walk you through the classic granny square from the very beginning (including starting with a chain-4 ring or a magic circle), then we build up row by row and I explain why I turn my work after each round. If you’re a beginner and you want something wearable without a bunch of complicated shaping, this is one of those projects that feels way less scary than it looks. After we get the squares going, I show you how to take your measurements so the sweater actually fits your body (not some mystery “medium” on the internet). I also share simple ways to adjust the size, sleeve opening, and length—plus how to add length to the front and back squares if you want more coverage. Then we join everything together with no sewing, just straightforward join-as-you-go style steps. Cozy, customizable, and perfect for using whatever yarn you’ve got in your stash (or that thrifted yarn you’re determined to make work).
