CLUSTER STITCH

3DC = 3DC in the same space

2DTOG = 2DC together in the same ch st.

SPECIAL STITCH

PICOT = CH 3, SLST to 1^st CH back bump

NOTES:

1. 1^st row of DC replaced with SC, CH1 instead of chain 2 for nicer finishes.

The Number of Square For A Top

For this Granny Square Pull Over top, I designed it with 3 sets of Granny Square. I started with making the 4 rows of square quantities as per the chart above. Once obtain the overall total number of 79 squares, I joined them together as I crochet the 5th row aka border row (instruction below).

Completed joining all the squares. Next, edges finishing.

Bottom Top & Both Sleeves Edge

These edge finishes are optional. You may skip these edge stitches.

Slst to any of square 1st corner space as the diagram shown above, SC at the same space, (2DC, PICOT, 2DC) at the CH5 space, SC at the next space, Ch1, PICOT, CH1, SC at the next space, Ch1, PICOT, CH1, SC at the next space, (2DC, PICOT, 2DC) at the CH5 space, SC at the next space, Ch1, PICOT, CH1, SC at the next space repeat* all-round the edge. Finish the last stitch after a PICOT st, cut off yarn, with tapestry needle invisible join to 1st SC.

Neckline Edge

Before we crochet the edge, the neckline openings are pretty wide and big. With the following 2 rows pattern, it will reduce the neckline opening.

ROW 1 :

Slst to any of square 1^st corner space as the diagram shown above, SC at the same space, CH1, < ( SC, CH1, SC, CH1, SC ) to the next CH5 space, Ch1, *SC to the next space, CH1* repeat * 2times ( SC, CH1, SC, CH1, SC ) to the next CH5 space, Ch1, *SC to the next space, CH1* repeat * 1time> repeat < > all-round the edge. Slst to the 1^st SC.

ROW 2 :
