This cardigan is made in a few steps. First you make the granny squares, block them, sew them together, and then add the detailing and sleeves. I made this in a size womens medium/large because that is my size. I will place some notes throughout the pattern to change the size to either make it bigger or smaller. In addition to those instructions, you could also make more granny squares to manipulate the shape of the cardigan (ex: Make it longer, shorter, wider, etc.).
