I’ve always wanted a granny square cardigan, they look so comfortable and comforting, perfect for the endless days of bumming around at home that we seem to be experiencing lately.<\/p>\n

I thought that the latest yarn range – Premier Anti-Pilling Everyday Worsted<\/a> from American yarns, would be perfect for this project because it has such a great range of colours to choose from. And when it come to crochet granny squares, the more colours the better!<\/p>\n

Crocheting a granny square cardigan is more like assembling a jigsaw puzzle than following a pattern.<\/p>\n

Once you have made your basic square design, it’s just a matter of patch working them together into a cardigan shape, the trickiest part is working out how many granny square you need to make a cardigan to fit you.<\/p>\n

I chose to use 7 colours for my granny square cardigan, but of course you can make this in as many colours as your heart desires, or even one solid colour.<\/p>\n

It turns out that this cardigan came together with exactly 7 balls of Premier Anti-Pilling Everyday Worsted<\/a>, with not a scrap to spare. Which isn’t surprising as I pretty much made it up as I went, and crocheted till I ran out of yarn.<\/p>\n

I quite like the 3\/4 cropped sleeves for spring, but just by adding an extra row of granny squares (with another ball of yarn), these sleeves can be extended to full length.<\/p>\n

Because granny squares are perfect for using up yarn ends, this granny square cardigan is perfect for using up all your scraps and leftovers.<\/p>\n

I haven’t written an exact pattern for this project because let’s face it, everyone has a unique body. So instead I’ve created a recipe for how to make your own granny square cardigan which will be unique to you.<\/p>\n

I’m about an average (fairly flat-chested) medium, so keep in mind if you are a larger size you’ll need more than 7 balls for this cardigan pattern.<\/p>\n

The yarn \u2013 Premier Anti-Pilling Everyday Worsted<\/h2>\n
\"premier

Yarn colours featured – Cream, Mustard, Glass (light green), Rose, Mist (grey), Peacock, Admiral Blue (navy)<\/p><\/div>\n

Just like it says on the label, Premier Anti-pilling Everyday Worsted<\/a> is a great all round everyday yarn.<\/p>\n

It’s made of a specially formulated acrylic fibre designed to resist pilling, and any pilling that is produced washes away when laundered.<\/p>\n

The yarn itself is soft, bouncy and has just the right amount of twist, making it super easy to crochet or knit with.<\/p>\n

If you are sick of yarns that split when you crochet, this yarn will be an enjoyable change.<\/p>\n

This yarn is very soft to the touch and is Oeko-Tex Standard 100 Certified, which makes it suitable for direct contact with the most sensitive skin, even babies and small children.<\/p>\n

Premier Anti-pilling Everyday Worsted<\/a> has a slight shine, which isn’t offensive, and to the untrained eye, this yarn doesn’t read as ‘acrylic’. It’s not squeaky like cheaper acrylic yarn.<\/p>\n

At around $10 AUS a ball it’s not the cheapest, but I think worth it for the quality.<\/p>\n

The label categorizes this yarn as a Medium (4) Worsted weight, which is fairly spot on. Somewhere between a 8-10ply yarn, just a little bit heavier than a typical DK (8ply).<\/p>\n

But the best thing<\/strong> about Premier Anti-pilling Everyday Worsted has got to be the huge colour range!<\/p>\n

American yarns has 47 colours in stock, ranging from brights, to pastels and neutrals. There is really something here for every taste and colour palette.<\/p>\n

I really enjoyed working with this yarn and I think it’s going to become my ‘go to’ yarn for everyday projects that need to stand up to some wear, like accessories, kids knitwear, toys, and especially blankets.<\/p>\n

The stitch definition is also very good and would be a good choice for textured crochet and knitted stitches.<\/p>\n

The colour combination options are endless, and I’m really looking forward to mixing and matching colours for up coming projects using this yarn.<\/p>\n
