Corner-to-Corner Method (C2C)
Corner to corner (C2C) crochet is a technique where you crochet “squares” in diagonal rows, starting in the bottom right corner and ending in the the top left corner. Each row is increased by one square. Each square in the graph = chain 3 + 3 double crochet.
C2C Increases
Increases are made at the end of each row. To make an increase you will chain 6, dc in the 4th chain from your hook and dc 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. Turn your work and join with a slip stitch to the chain 3 space from the last square made.
C2C Decreases
The first decreases for both the width and length will create corners.
To make a decrease, when you reach the end of the row, you will 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.
Step 1 of the Crochet Letters Blanket
Follow the links below to go to the pattern for each individual Christmas square.
After completing each square, continue crocheting around the border of your square with your white yarn. In each corner you will work a (sc-ch 2-sc) and in the side of each square you will make two sc.
Step 2 of the Crochet Letters Blanket
Join Your Letter Squares
Okay, now that all of your crochet letters are done, it’s time to sew them together.
When you arrange your squares, make sure the RIGHT SIDE of each square is facing you.
Firstly, line up the single crochet stitches from the borders that you made around each square. Then, sew the four squares in each row together. Finally, sew the seven rows together.
Step 3 of the Crochet Letters Blanket
Add a Border
Join your yarn. I used white. Ch 2 and hdc in each stitch, in the corners work (hdc-ch 2- hdc)
Fasten off and use a tapestry needle to weave in your ends.
