Crochet Granny Square Top Pattern

Most crocheters love the granny stitch and must have made something in this stitch. So, designing the granny square top many years ago felt like fulfilling a basic right in the crochet community. Tell me, what have you made anything using the granny stitch? What’s your favorite thing to make using this stitch?

I prefer calling this top “not your regular granny’s top” as it has a beautiful neckline as opposed to just joining two panels of squares together at the neck. All in a bit to make this design so unique and beautiful. Another great thing about this top is the use of colors! I have added a beautiful twist of using up your stash and never worrying about the colors coordinating or not. You can totally go color-blocking with this top!.
