| Just beginning first colour stripes completed, |
I saw a photo and a post on Facebook from someone who was just finishing her C2C crocheted blanket. I was intrigued I love crochet but had no idea what a C2C blanket was. After some internet research I discovered that it simply meant corner to corner and that's exactly what you do. You start with 1 block of crochet and increase on every row until it is the size you want, decrease on every row until you are back to one and finally add a border, that's all there is to it.
I am always keen to try new things and here is my first attempt the photos show my progress stage by stage.
I made this first one using a free pattern from www.redheart.com in cream,coffee,minty green and yellow DK yarn using a 5mm hook. The finished blanket measures approx. 28" square. This pattern is easily adjusted to any size you choose.
I am absolutely delighted with the results it's so easy why didn't I know about it before. I have finished a second one and started a third. You could say "I am now hooked on C2C"

Your blanket looks great! I like corner-to-corner projects too but have only made knitted things using this technique. I'm currently working on a small knitted corner-to-corner cushion cover. Thanks for the pattern recommendation - maybe I'll have a go at it, although I'm still a beginner at crochet!
ReplyDeleteThank you and best of luck it really is quite easy once you get going.
