C2C crochet raccoon pattern free

This C2C crochet raccoon pattern is a sweet animal panel for baby blankets, pillows, wall hangings, and handmade gifts! The cute raccoon face is worked with the corner-to-corner crochet method and makes a fun addition to woodland and animal-themed projects.

This panel is one of 12 animal designs included in my crochet woodland baby blanket pattern.

C2C crochet raccoon pattern details

Here’s a quick overview of the materials, sizing, gauge, and pattern notes before you begin.

Pattern notes

The panel is made in the C2C technique. You make “blocks” in diagonal rows starting in the bottom right corner and ending in the top left corner.
Each block is made of a chain 3 + 3 double crochet.
Chain 6 to start a new row and chain 3 to start a new block.
You can follow the graph or the written pattern.
The written pattern tells you how many blocks to make of each color and in what order.
↙ You are working on the “right side”.

The pattern is written in US terms.
