Granny square maxi dress

Hi guys, welcome to another fun and simple dress tutorial. This dress consists of basic granny squares with minor alterations joined together. I used two strands of fingering yarn held together for this project. I joined together strands of two different shades of yarn to bring out the ombre effect in the middle. I used 10 balls of white yarn and 6 balls of yellow yarn. You can use DK yarn if you have an ombre shade for the inside of the granny square and plain shades for the outside parts. The stitches I used consist of granny squares, flat granny square stitch and single crochet stitches. The rows of single crochet are predominantly for bordering of the squares. This project may take some time especially with the many rows of single crochets. Be patient with yourself and play around with colors.

The project is measurements based. I did not do any blocking of the squares. However feel free to do that for your piece as it may give you a neater finish.
