As is often the case, once again I created a pattern out of necessity: I wanted to crochet a lovely, light and colourful piece of clothing for my little girl. And what’s easier and simpler than starting from a basic granny square? I love the fact that so many great items can be created out of such a simple form. Once again, I gladly share with you a pattern that can be easily adapted to all sizes, one you can create using your own colours and yarn. Enjoy!

• This pattern is really easy and repetitive, just start a basic granny square and keep crocheting until you reach the desired torso size.
• This project is totally customizable: choose the yarn and colours of your choice and make it as big as you wish!
• You can choose to crochet different motifs on front and back…and then wear them as you wish, changing look everyday.

This pattern is in ENGLISH and uses standard US crochet terminology and abbreviations. It contains a link to a free YouTube video explaining the technique.
