GRANNY SQUARE PLAYSUIT

almost 3 years ago

Hello everyone, hope you are all doing great. I posted a gown I made with granny squares a week ago and I promised to share the playsuit I made for my friend @fayour with granny squares also, so that is what I am sharing today. I am going to share a step-by-step way on how I achieved it.

Materials
Any medium weight yarn (i used 100% acrylic yarn)
Size 4mm crochet hook
Terms
DC: double crochet
SS: slip stitch
CH: chain

Step 1: making the granny squares.
I made a total of 22 granny squares for this whole project, I did something a little different. In my first post I recommended the join-as-you-go method for joining the squares, so that is what I used for this whole project. I also used white as the border colour instead of black like the dress.

The playsuit is worked in two panels but the back panel is a bit bigger than the front panel, because we have to consider the back when making playsuits. Each square has a total of 6 rows which equals 5 inches in measurement.

For the front panel I joined 3 granny squares, while the back panel has 4 granny squares horizontally. Vertically both the front and back panel have 2 granny squares each. Then I joined the back and front panel together.

To proceed I had to create the leg holes. For that i attached the yarn at the exact middle of the front panel and made 20 chains which is 4 inches in measurement, then attached the chain at the exact middle of the back panel.

When I was done separating the legs, I first worked on one leg before moving to the other. i used the border colour to make extra rows with 3 dc ch 1 3 dc till i close off the row. I did this for a total of 8 rows, then did the exact same thing on the other leg hole.

After I was done with that. I joined the upper granny squares, also in 2 parts, for both the front and back panel. Then I joined it in the exact middle of the front panel and did the same for the back. Then added the straps on both sides.

Here is the final result, I hope you like it.

Thanks for stopping by 💖

Thank you so much. I do have a crochet business and I make some for other people, since I work with measurements I always wait for orders before I make any piece.

@Blezyn it’s Beautiful! It’s just as fun and creative as your granny square dress! You are seriously very talented and I really enjoy seeing your work! It looks adorable on your friend.

This would be fun over a swimsuit because it’s lightweight and small! Love it! 😍

How long did it take you to make in total?

Thank you so much for your kind words.

How long did it take you to make in total?

It took about a week because I wasn't serious about finishing it, but overall it should take 2-3days to make. Depends on how fast you are

Absolutely!

Oh wow, you can make and finish something like this in just 2-3 days? You crochet pretty fast!

For me it also depends on how much I’m interrupted…that happens often here with five kiddos. 😄

Thanks for the info ~

I can imagine.
The house keeping and kids often interrupt .
I often pray that they grow so fast and become independence so we can have the freedom to continue our personal works again...

Thankfully that's one thing I don't have to worry about yet. Generally, only my day job is the distraction I have.

Do you do crochet? If yes, you can absolutely give it a try, you'll see it's a really fun project to make.

I did crotchet in the past along side my mum I haven't done that I a long time but keep wondering if that skill is still there.

I think since you have an idea it should be easy to pick it back up if you want to. You just need to redevelop the skills

Hmmm... This is creativity at its best.
It's a good one ✌️

What if the measurement goes wrong? Is there a way to adjust it?

I know that tailors often have something called allowance. I wonder if there is something like that in needlework.

For crochet if the measurements goes wrong every other thing goes wrong and there's absolutely no way to fix it than to start over. That's why I'm very particular about measurements when making a piece.
