What is corner-to-corner crochet (C2C)?

Corner-to-corner crochet, also called C2C, is a method worked diagonally in small blocks made with chains and double crochet stitches. In this blanket, each cactus panel is crocheted separately, then joined together to create the finished design.

Mix & match C2C blanket panels

All three of my C2C blanket patterns below are designed using the same panel size and layout, which means the panels can be mixed and matched across collections to create a custom blanket.

Each blanket uses four individual C2C panels arranged in a 2 × 2 layout, and every panel is worked to the same finished size—no resizing or stitch adjustments needed.

Choose panels from one theme or mix designs across sets, then sew them together and add a border to finish your blanket.

C2C crochet cactus baby blanket pattern instructions

Make all 4 cactus panels using the graphs or written instructions below. Add the panel border to each rectangle, then sew the panels together to assemble the C2C crochet cactus baby blanket.

Panel border (work on each panel before sewing)
Ch 1. Work 2 sc in each C2C block space around. In each corner, work (2 sc, ch 2, 2 sc).

Assembling the blanket

Sew your crochet cactus panels together, making sure they’re facing the correct way. You can use locking stitch markers to hold the panels together while you seam.

Adding a border

Work this border after seaming all four panels together (and after the panel borders are complete).
Ch 2. Make 1 hdc in each stitch along the blanket edges. In each corner, make (hdc, ch 2, hdc).

Finishing

Weave in your ends. Block if desired.
