The Costa Cálida (Warm Coast) in Spain offers you about 320 days of sunshine per year and is home to numerous beaches. A little granny square top is perfect for a stroll on a promenade. Everyone loves a granny square! Be assured, not many people have seen a knitted version before!

The top is worked in squares. The pattern comes in six sizes. This top is designed with a 4 - 15 cm / 1½ - 6” negative ease so it fits nice and snuggly. The squares are worked in rounds from the centre of the square.
