New cardigan (need help)

hi everyone! so I bought yarn yesterday, and although the image doesnt show it, they are very big. also, the colors are navy and yellow. I was wondering what type of granny square cardigan I should make.

I’m thinking of making the second version because I want it oversized.

but, I don’t know how to make my granny squares small enough or whatever to fit this pattern.

also, I want to make what I call “bell bottom arms” where it just flows out in the end, like a bell bottom, just on your arm. but I’m not sure how to get this look.

if you have any tips please let me know.

also:

these are some options for the square (don’t mind the horrible drawing)

if you guys have more, please let me know.

I can also make a couple of these, I just don’t have a lot of white

again, thanks so much and please let me know what tips you have!

yellow and blue would be cool to make a checkered pattern! also, you could use the star granny squares as pockets?

good luck!

Hmm! Maybe for the sleeves/arms, DONT use granny squares and use sc and inc. Also, maybe you could make flower granny squares! That would be cute.

For your granny square measurements, I would take measurements of an oversized sweater you own and divided it by how many squares go around in the pattern and start there as your base size, measuring throughout. Cute colors!

For the sleeves, these are just a few of the free patterns available on Ribblr that seems like what you’re talking about, I just searched for “sleeve” and chose some that I thought matched your description :sweat_smile:
