How to Crochet the Corner-to-Corner ‘C2C’ Blanket: Step-by-Step Instructions

Cre­at­ing the First Square:
Start by chain­ing six: one, two, three, four, five, and six. In the fourth chain from the hook, work a dou­ble cro­chet (dc). Then, per­form a dou­ble cro­chet in the next two chains. You now have a row of dou­ble cro­chets.

Form­ing the First Pair of Squares:
Chain six again and work a dou­ble cro­chet in the fourth chain from the hook, fol­lowed by two more dou­ble cro­chets in the next two chains. You’ve cre­at­ed a sec­ond square. Join the two squares with a slip stitch. Flip the piece and con­nect it with anoth­er slip stitch in the space. This cre­ates a pair of squares joined at the cor­ner.

Repeat­ing and Increas­ing:
Chain three and work three dou­ble cro­chets in the same space. This forms a cor­ner. After count­ing three dou­ble cro­chets, con­tin­ue the pat­tern by slip stitch­ing into the space. Chain three, work three dou­ble cro­chets, and repeat. You can change col­ors if desired.

Adding More Col­ors:
To change col­ors, slip-stitch your new col­or, leav­ing the ends to weave in lat­er. Chain six again, turn, and work dou­ble cro­chets as before to cre­ate anoth­er square. Con­tin­ue to increase as need­ed for your desired width.

When you’re ready to decrease, slip stitch into three spaces, skip­ping three dou­ble cro­chets. Instead of chain­ing six, chain three and work three dou­ble cro­chets in the same space. Repeat the pat­tern while decreas­ing by cut­ting three dou­ble cro­chets each time.

As you con­tin­ue, you’ll lose one block (square) on each row. To main­tain the decrease, turn your work and slip stitch across, then fol­low the same pat­tern of chain three, three dou­ble cro­chets, slip stitch, and repeat. Keep decreas­ing until you have only one cor­ner, turn­ing your project into a square.

Cor­ner-to-cor­ner cro­chet is a ver­sa­tile tech­nique that allows you to cre­ate var­i­ous projects, from increas­ing to decreas­ing the width. If you have any ques­tions, please don’t hes­i­tate to ask. Don’t for­get to sub­scribe for more cro­chet tuto­ri­als. Thank you for watch­ing!
