Bernat Grand Granny Pullover Crochet Kit

The Grand Granny Pullover is written as a first crochet sweater. It's worked in four flat pieces with no shaping and minimal seaming, so if you can make a granny square, you can make this.

The kit has the Bernat Harmony yarn (100% acrylic, #4 worsted) and the easy crochet instructions. Harmony changes color on its own, so the granny stitch forms stripes without fresh ends to weave in at every color change.

Who it's for

• Your first crochet garment
• A relaxed, striped pullover for everyday wear
• Sizes from extra small to 5X
• Crocheters who'd rather skip shaping and fitting

Making it

You'll need a US I-9 (5.5 mm) hook, which isn't included. The pattern comes in sizes XS/S through 4X/5X, roughly a 28 to 62 inch bust. Pick the size by your bust measurement and the ease you like, then crochet a gauge swatch first: flat pieces only fit if your gauge matches the pattern. Granny clusters have some stretch, so measure the pieces flat without pulling them, and use the same hook for every piece so they all come out the same size.

Looking after it

Follow the Bernat Harmony ball band. Block the four pieces flat to the pattern's measurements before you seam them.
