Granny Square Cardigan Patterns

Granny square cardigan patterns build a jacket-style garment by joining squares into front, back, and sleeve panels, then adding ribbing or a border. Sizing is controlled by square size and the number of squares per panel. Lightweight, drapey yarn prevents the cardigan feeling stiff, and blocking every square keeps the panels even.
