c2c Crochet Method
Corner to corner (c2c) crochet is a technique where you crochet “squares” in diagonal rows.
You start in the bottom right corner and end in the top left corner.
c2c Crochet Increases
Increases are made at the end of each row of your crochet baby blanket. Chain 6 and DC in the 4th chain from the hook and in each of the 2 remaining chains.
You will have a chain 3 + 3 DC square. This is your first square for the beginning of the next row.
c2c Crochet Decreases
The first decreases for both the width and length of your crochet baby blanket will create corners.
To decrease, turn your work and slip stitch across the 3 DC’s in the last square made. Join with a slip stitch to the chain 3 space and chain 3 + 3 DC.

Border
Ch 1, in the side of each square you will make 2 sc and in each corner you will sc-ch 2-sc.
Crochet Heart Pillow Back
Now, make a back using the same pattern as the front of the pillow but without the color changes. I used Dusty Grey for mine.
Assembly
Firstly, lay your pillow covers with the RIGHT sides facing outward.
Sew the covers together through the single crochet borders. Stuff with a pillow insert or Poly Fil before sewing the last side.
