Granny Square Halter

I saw the cutest Granny Square Haltered Neck Top pattern on Ravelry.  You should really check it out.  It is gorgeous and the child wearing it looks completely comfortable. 

In the directions, she has you leave some of the granny squares unfinished and work them together.  Well, I just happened to have granny squares around, ready to be used for a blanket I had in mind.  So, I cheated and just whip stitched them together.  I really like the effect (though, I wasn't sure I was going to).  It has a patch-work kinda feel to it that is pleasant.

Of course, my on-hand granny squares were 1/2 " bigger than hers, and my child is a good 4 years younger than hers, so I had to make a few adjustments.

Here's how it turned out:

Yes, this is my ragamuffin!

Another thing that is slightly different, is that I didn't have to put any elastic thread in the back.  Somehow, it just fit.  I got lucky, I guess.  :)

Here's the direct link to the pattern.
