   • Chain 2.
   • Repeat the sequence of *3 dc in the ring, chain 2; from * two more times.
   • Join with a slip stitch (sl st) to the top of the initial chain 3. You should have 12 dc and 4 chain-2 spaces.

   • Chain 3, then make (2 dc, chain 2, 3 dc) in the same space.

5. Continue Rounds: Keep following this pattern, increasing the number of 3 dc groups along each side of the square until your square reaches the desired size.
6. Make 30 Squares: Repeat the above steps to create a total of 30 granny squares.
7. Arrange Squares: Lay out the squares in a 5x6 grid. This will form the body of your cardigan.
8. Join Squares: Use a whip stitch or your preferred joining method to connect the squares together securely.
9. Add Sleeves:
   • From the armholes, crochet in the round.
   • Decrease evenly every few rounds to shape the sleeves as you go.
10. Finish with a Border: Complete your cardigan by adding a single crochet (sc) border around the entire piece for a polished look.
