GENERAL INFORMATION
A Granny square has four corners and four sides, this pattern is called a hex square as it has six sides like a hexagon, which when folded creates an L which forms part of the sleeves, front and back panel.
This pattern uses knitting and crocheting, for crochet its mainly 3 treble stitches in the same 1ch space to form whats called a cluster which creates a V along the sides and twice in the same 3ch space to create the corners. A htr and bobble or popcorn stitch are used for the sleeves. Granny squares are used on the sleeves and half of one to create a triangle for the front panels.
There are cable inserts, 2 on the front and 1 on the back, these are created by using a cable needle and twisting the stitches
