What is corner-to-corner crochet (C2C)?
Corner-to-corner crochet (also called C2C) is a technique where you crochet diagonally instead of in rows. The project is built using small blocks made of chains and double crochet stitches, starting in one corner and growing row by row until you reach the widest point, then decreasing to finish the opposite corner.
C2C is especially popular for crochet blankets because it works up quickly and makes color changes easy—perfect for fun designs like this modern rainbow blanket worked as one continuous C2C project.

Frequently asked questions
Is this a beginner-friendly C2C blanket pattern?
This pattern is best for intermediate crocheters. While it uses standard C2C stitches, the larger size and frequent color changes make it more challenging than basic C2C projects.
How big is the finished crochet rainbow blanket?
The completed blanket measures approximately 47 x 57 inches (119 x 145 cm).
What yarn and hook are used for this pattern?
This pattern uses worsted weight yarn and a G-6 (4 mm) crochet hook. The sample blanket was made with Lion Brand Pound of Love yarn in white, fern, straw, pastel pink, and cherry.
Can I make this C2C blanket bigger or smaller?
Yes. You can change the finished size by using a larger or smaller hook and yarn, or by adding a border. This pattern does not recommend adding additional C2C blocks, as that would change the overall design proportions.
Can I change the colors?
Absolutely. This pattern works well with many color palettes, from bold rainbows to soft neutrals or muted boho tones.
