Assembly

Take the time to lay out your squares to make the pattern you want with them. If you're not sure of what pattern you want, you can copy me and ask your favorite furry crochet assistant for their thoughts.

Pink, blue, yellow, and green squares are laid out according to the cardigan diagram. A black pit bull is laying on top of the squares, judging the person taking the picture.

Following the diagram above, using the extra yarn left over, stitch your squares together using the yarn needle.

Once your squares have been sewn together, don’t forget to weave in all those pesky ends!

 Feel free to add buttons, ribbing, or pockets with any of your leftover yarn!
