When I was asked to make something using granny squares, I wanted to create something bright and happy to wear. This dress can be worn year round - over a swimming costume or layered with tights and long sleeves in cold weather. Using traditional techniques in a modern way honours the humblest of crochet fundamentals.

You will need one 200g ball of each of 4 colours. The sample used Arctic, Blush, Glacier & Lemon Crush shades of Bendigo Woollen Mills 8ply cotton.

The 3 round squares are made individually first then joined continuously using glacier grey.
