Nadia Faud, I want to thank you for ALWAYS making your projects basic beginners friendly. I am an 'intermediate basic' crocheter. You dont go fast, and you take your time in showing us viewers the step by step. I have to say, not one person should get upset and frustrated and just shut down your video because of not understanding a stitch. (I have done that many times to other instructors). To have an instructor like you, who takes their time in showing what could be a very complicated stitch into an easy one. And a BIG THANK YOU to your camera guy Faud Azmat! Awesome job he does!!
Agreed, Nadia is a fabulous instructor. Oh bless camera guy, he does a fabulous job too!x
This picture of this sweater does not do it justice, I passed this sweater by at least a dozen times..I wanted to make my Grand Daughter Ana a little play sweater that would give her room, yet keep her warm. I got out my ivory yarn and some of their raspberry, and I made a 16 inch granny square, sewed it all up, put a little ruffle band edging on the front.. She came over today she is 2 and a half and quite vocal and knows her color blendings already.. This child amazes me. I put her sweater on her, and she was not going to take that off, she loved it so much. About an hour later, I was working on a different practice swatch and she bought over a ball of Debra Norville variegated that I did not like. was called smoothie, and the colors just seem to run into each other.. So I started it for her, and she loved it.. then she went back to my yarn pile and bought over a skein of red heart soft touch lemon.. My daughter and I were just looking at each other.. This baby amazes me... Bottom Line, IF any of you are passing this sweater by DON"T, It is not only fun to make, but if a 2 and a half year old loves it, and can pick out the colors for the next one, you know you have something special.. Thank You so much Nadia, for not only making my day full of smiles, but making my Babes feel like she is a big girl, and can start designing her own colors... lol... PS. and she wants to wear this one to lunch tomorrow and to go apple picking...
Thank you

That's precious. I think I will make my daughter one to start
Thank you so much for this tutorial, I have followed it to your instruction, an it is fantastic, I made mine in Grey Aran for main colour, an Plum for trim. I have tried so many times to make these an was never really happy with the size, but measured as you say, made it 41 inches, an it is like being wrapped in a soft blanket of huggable warmth. I am a 16/18 an this is really roomy will be making Zillions of these in different colours, I suffer with chronic pain from Fibromyalgia, an Arthritis so hate any thing tight grabbing me as it is painful. this is so so lovely, thank you Nadia. and bless your kind heart.
I agree with you on the pain.. my daughter is with the .. i have the arthritis but not diagnosed yet with fibromiolagia, but no, I ne checked me out for it. I might be, but who's to say. Yes, I like it roomy.. I'm a big person but I need light weight vers I n.. I'm making I ng mine, 1 ply with a 2.5 mm hook its like F or smaller size hook.
I just made this for my 6 year old. I did a 30" square with redheart polo striped yarn, and it looks like it will fit her for a couple of years. It's gorgeous!
I finished my sweater and extended the sleeves to long sleeves. I also made two additional squares and sewed them on for pockets. Love the soft flow and warm wrapped feeling. Thank you for sharing.
Awsome Idea! Will incorporate this into My 9yr olds Cardigan!❤❤❤
Shawn van der Berg would love to see it with long sleeves
Hi Shawn, I’m new at crocheting, could you tell me how to extend the sleeves?. Do you mean you just keep crocheting in the contras color or keep going with the light color?. Thanks so much.
pocket amazing ,good idea
I made 2 cardigans with this pattern and I must say they came out very nice. I made one for myself and I'm also made one for an elderly lady who loves it. So thank you for these instructions.
I've made 4 of these now in different colors. I used the simply soft yarn and I also made my square a bit smaller, 35", with a K hook to suit my size. I really like them and I get a lot of compliments when I wear them. They are enjoyable to make. Thanks.
wonder if you know if I want to make a med and a large how many should I chain. Thank you in advance
How many hours did it take you to make one?
I am doing this right now in white and the outer edge will be royal blue. Thank you I really appreciate it
Thanks for this wonderful tutorial! I'm Brazilian, I understand a little English, but I managed to do all the step by step in making the piece. I confess that I doubted myself at first, but in the end everything worked out. I had never managed to make a big square before. And now, with this video I made a cardigan! Thanks again and congratulations for the beautiful job of helping people!
just finished this. white and a deep pink for my 1st daughter. i still need to make 3 more my other 3 daughters and 4 more for my nieces. i am gonna make your other one for the babies (2). hopefully before Christmas if i dont run out of yarn. thanks a million.
and i think i am gonna make be both. maybe mom & grandma also. hubby said if i use all my yarn he will buy me $50 worth so crossing my fingers
I don't get why anyone would give you a thumbs down on this tutorial. You are EXCELLENT! So is the photography! You explain and show all. I'm fairly new at crocheting and am about to come to the edging on sleeves and middle. Have had no problems. Can't wait to wear it! I'm doing it in buff and black for versatility with my wardrobe. Thank You so much for your awesome patterns and instructions!
This review is for the shrug. I think I accidentally wrote it on the shawl.
I have really enjoyed your video. I am now on my 3rd shrug. Everyone at work enjoys wearing them. They are easy to do and can be done quickly. Thank you for sharing.
Almost finished mine. It’s black and gray. I could watch your videos all day. Thank you.
I'm finishing up this project today. I love it. I used the Caron One Pound yarn. It'll get soft and slightly fuzzy when washed. I'm all about it.
I love this Nadia. I have learned something today, watching your video, the fact that turning your work keeps everything squared. I have been crocheting for 50 years and I did not know that. I also learned how to do mattress stitch to join the seams and that looks so good. So God bless you for teaching an old lady something. I also have to mention how neat your work is, beautiful. I am really excited to make one (or two) of these now. Thanks for the video.
This has to be one of my favorite crochet tutorials
Finally I completed this cardigan for my mother-in-law ... I am sure she gonna like it.. Thank you so much for this beautiful cardigan tutorial !!!
Hi Nadia, I made this shrug for my mom, and she has gotten so many compliments. Some of those compliments were from people at her job who are crochet too. Thank you sharing this simple yet elegant piece.
I just made this and have been receiving compliments from everyone! It's so comfortable and looks so good. Thank you for this tutorial!
BEAUTIFUL CARDIGAN! I just finished the one for my niece. it's gray with the trim being a mixed color of purples and blue. and now my two little girls want one. thanks for the detailed instructions
Great tutorial. This is the first tutorial that the front post and back post double crochet made sense. Thank you!
I just finished my very own granny square cardigan and i LOVE it! Its so easy to whip up but so pretty and cozy to use. Thank you for sharing your talent! Thank you Mr. Faud Azmat for being an awesome videographer!
Five years ago I was at my parents living room while watching a tv series crocheting with this warm cardigan on my lap, years later I am going to make this cardigan again!
Thank you for posting this instructional video of making a granny square shrug sweater. I've had hats and blankets, purses and scarfs. So, I am an intermediate crocheter, however, I've never made a shrug. Your video makes it look so easy and after my current project, I will be making this and even making a few as gifts. I subscribed to your channel. I have posted my work on my Facebook page too. Have a wonderful day!
I love how you started the granny square. I've never seen that before.
I would have never have guessed that a square sewn into a diamond would look so good on a person but I absolutely love this pattern! I'm on my second one now.
In the middle of making this pattern, I'm using Peacock Blue and Grey! super grateful for the pattern and the helpful instructions!
My mom made me one this weekend. 😍 I introduced her to your channel and she's hooked. She's currently stuck in bed due to foot surgery so she has all the time to make things. I love everything you do as I'm a visual learner and you make everything look so easy and descriptive. I'm a beginner at crocheting and you make it possible for me. Thank you.
This is so why I love following Nadia, you are amazing in explaining how to....and you never leave us hanging. You always explain the next few rows and let us know what we are doing. Every stitch you do you explain it so well and the camera work is amazing. Thanks to both of you for the awesome team work the two of you do. Going to make one asap, thanks again.
Melinda Arden also forgot to add ~~~ Loved that you gave exact amount of yarn to use. That really makes my life so simple you rock!!
Melinda Arden Awww Thank you for such a sweet comment Melinda! I'm so glad you're going to try this. Be sure to share your finished work on our Facebook if you have an account! ~Nadia
i finally completed my cocoon cardigan, nearly 2 months :D i plan to add an icord instead of buttons. thanks for your tutorial, it is really helpful because the steps are clear.
I originally made this cardigan with another video tutorial, but I have to say that the way you do it is truly fantastic! You make it so simple. I especially love doing the square by turning the work each round.. it gives it such a lovely look. I have been making granny squares for many many years and never thought of doing that. It is a brilliant idea. I have made this cardigan from your tutorial now and, of course, simply went round and round and had to frog it and start again... habit! So glad I did because it looks great. Also, I love the mattress stitch. I have never been able to do it and doing a WIP stitch is just so untidy. Thanks for that. I am about to start the last bits and will post a pic when I'm finished. Once again thank you so very much.:)
Thanks Nadia this is an awesome way of doing a big granny Square. i have been crocheting for 30yrs. and this is so cool and so quicker. I have almost finished the summer jacket just need to alter the armholes and I will put a pic up. thanks again for sharing all your fab tutorials. x
I just completed this cardigan and I love it. Your tutorial was amazing. Each step clear and easy to follow. Thank you!
Just finished mine.Beige and black on the edge
I have seen so many of these posted on Facebook and was given the link to your tutorial today. I am looking forward to making 4 of these as gifts for the ladies at the Carehome I work in. Perfect gifts. thank you
Great instructional video! I like how you "hopped" over the seam on the edging. And I love how the big hook gives it such great drape! Your enthusiasm is infectious!
A suggestion about purchasing yarn. I would purchase based on total # of yards instead of ounces if I'm not using Red Heart because the same # of ounces can produce different yardages, depending on how thick or thin the medium-weight yarn is.
So pretty!
I made this in sage color cotton yarn with variegated trim. Lots of compliments. Thank you.
I finished mine with all Buff colored yard and I totally love it! Thank you so much for the excellent instruction.👍🏾
One of the best tutorials I saw. I am not american but I understand all. Thank you so much.
I love watching you, you are a great teacher and your voice is soothing. Love all your
patterns. Thank you. a balm to a Grandmother. :)
I made this pattern last year and it came out wonderful - I used a cream tweed/Aran type yarn with a denim color for the trim. Just perfect and comfy. I will make this again and can't recommend it too highly as an easy and wearable project.
I love this with the solid colour for the main piece. Nice bright border thanks for the tutorial
I found a shrug almost like this called the Diamanté Shrug Crochet and your simple design gave me inspiration to make it... thanks for your post...
I made one of these for my mom as a Christmas gift. It turned out beautifully! I wouldn't mind making one for myself now. Thank you so much for doing this!
As all ways a fantastic tutorial my daughter loved hers I did light brown and cream edge and now once one in black for university thank you Nadia xx
This cardigan is one of my favorite things to crochet!! It's beautiful and so comfortable. Thank you so much for sharing!l
It looks very good on you. Not everyone looks good in this style but you rock it.
Excellent, professional video/tutorial! Thank you so very much for you and your Dad in taking the time to do this for us. Definitely a great project to do for charity work for our church.
I'm just where you are now I have enjoyed making. This and it fits great. Thanks Nadia. Xx
I just finished my cardigan, thanks to your video. I love it, it came out great and fits me nice. Finally something for me. Thanks again for your great instructions.
I'm plus size I went on a yarn run and got a mint color 4 skeins I start this evening ;) thank you so much your so talented. happy hooking

Samantha Short How many inches did yours come out to be? My mom is a plus & I'd like to make for her.
Lyn Tanner-Cade i will have to go measure it. i added ten extra rounds im a plus size girl
Samantha Short Thanks A BUNCH
Okay
Looks easy enough. I tried to do a poncho & gave up. I really appreciate this video! Thank you so much for this!
I have made several of these. So easy and your tutorial is easy to follow. When I sew the seam for the arms I count how many stitches on the first one and continue that with the second one. Love your videos!
Thank you thank you,you have gave me hope and a new beginning on a lot of projects to come after watching this video.I will be beginning my granny square shrug just as soon as I write this.Thank you again!!
Love love the granny sweater. I am making a blanket and have crochet hundreds of small granny squares and it gets boring, but this is fabulous and very easy. I am going to go out and buy my yarn today. I thought I might try to work the front and back post around the sweater because I love the look of the sleeves. Keep the videos coming.
love from California
I just finished my Cocoon Sweater and I love it. Your video was very easy to follow and allowed to me to see the stiches. I used a chocolate brown and a multicolor (pink's and light brown). I look forward to watching more of your videos.
Thank you oh so much for this pattern. I love to crochet but have a tendency to not finish projects. Granted, I had people checking on this one so I eager to finish. However, I will say I loved this video. This is my first cardigan ever!!! You instructions were very easy to follow. The angle of the camera helped a lot with helping be sure I was following along correctly! It’s warm and cozy like a big hug!!!!! I will be making so many more of these!!!
Finished mine on Saturday and absolutely love it...already have orders from my sister and coworker to make them ones too! I used Caron Simply Soft for mine and it is slightly more draped than I had expected, but I love it so much! So soft, comfy, and warm!
Hello again, made the sweater again and it turned out beautiful. The main color is navy blue and the collar and sleeves are white. I plan on making more. I enjoy your videos and how you demonstrate the stitches. Keep up the good work. I'm a fan. Thanks much. Peace & blessings.
Thank you so much for this tutorial. Made one in maroon and brown.
I'm gonna make a maroon one and i think I'll edge it in heather grey
Just finished making one last night and i love it! Thanks so much for the video. I did the same granny square, i just didn't do the "turning around work" and it came out perfect. With Caron One Pound yarn, I made my base gray all the way up til the 27th row. and then i changed my color to a light Coral color (which looks really cute for some warm weather). I cant wait to wear it when spring comes to Chicago. Thanks again!
1karenjones9 how many hours did it take to make this?
I am making this now but with Michael's Loops & Thread Charisma Big Yarn #5 color Mulberry Bush I used 3 1/2 skeins each had 273yds. it is so soft . Thank you for the pattern I love it......😆
hi, i made the same shrug measuring upto 45 inches and it turned out great. I really liked your style of turning the project on every new line. Will it work same for round projects?
Just finished my first of 4 that I am making for x-mas gifts. Used Caron Cakes in Cherry Chip and Vanna's Choice in Cranberry for the border. Turned out AMAZING!!! Thanks for the tutorial that makes it so easy 😊
Michelle, if you don't mind, how many skeins of the Caron Cakes did you use for one of the sweaters?
Ccolagirl 2 - I use just shy of 3 Caron Cakes for the main part and then 1 and about 1/4 of Vanna's Choice for the border and sleeves. Hope that helps :)
Michelle Mayall Hi! I am using cake pop from Caron Cakes myself!
I'm using two skeins of Caron cakes lilac frosting and bumbleberry for mines and it's turning out nicely
Trina Andrews that sounds like it would be really pretty. Would love to see it when you finish. I'm almost finished my 4th...and then onto a bumbleberry one for me :)

Ok so this is exactly what I was looking for and how absolutely easy it is to make! I made one in a navy blue tweed with yellow border.. I love it!!! Ive already had a request for me to make one for someone else 😊. Thank you for the tutorial
Thank you so much for this! I was having a hard time following other tutorials when it came to sewing the ends. This was super helpful! 🖖
I didnt think id like this but i love it so comfy and its freezing out beautiful project
i made this for my sister and she loved it ty ty so much for the eazy to follow video
Thank you for this video, it's so clear and lovely! Am making one right now, and it sure crochets itself up fast, unlike knitting!
Thank you for such a beautiful pattern and your crystal clear instructions,
I just finished this up and I am in love with it. Thank you very much. Your instructions were easy to follow for a beginner like me.
Love from Jordan
Hi Nadia. This is a really great tutorial, and the finished project is really great! I ordered yarn and am going to make this next. Thank you for your time and knowledge, in creating these instructions.
this was a great tutorial, i had a blast making this for my grandma and i cant wait to see her in a few weeks to gift this to her.. thank you so much for doing such a great job!!
I'm absolutely in love with this pattern. This will definitely be my next project... On a completely unrelated note, I'm also in love with your nails lol!
Thanks Nadia for the tutorial, so easy to follow and complete!!!
I am making another one in lion brand wool ease, brush heather. Its beautiful. Thank you for all you do.
Good morning 🌞 I’m a visual learner and I hope I can crochet alongside with you when I think I’m ready. I don’t understand patterns/crochet book. I’m a beginner and slow, lol
I'm making this as well. Just got started. Will post.
You are very good at this! You teach very well, and everything makes sense to me now! Thanks!
I made my 1st jumbo shrug. Thank you for the inspiration!
I love love love your tutorials they are so easy to follow and the way you come across is very understandable to a newbie xxxxxxx
Finally something I can make other than a scarf!!!! Thank you so much for the detailed explanation :D
kawaiipeach yes! i finally finished it! it's so confy and warm. I have some yarn left so I think I'll add a hood to it
just look for "hood addon for shrug" here on youtube. Add the hood to the top of the shrug before making the edging with the other color. Once you have attached the hood, crochet the edging all around incluiding the hood.
brianna s. hope you understand. I'm a beginner but I managed to make it work
+kawaiipeach I was just thinking the same thing!! This shrug using a granny square is a God send haha.
