Crochet Terms

C2C Crochet Technique

  • The blanket is made using the c2c technique of making “squares” back and forth in diagonal rows starting in the bottom right corner and ending in the top left corner.
  • Each square is made of a chain 3 + 3 double crochet.
  • Chain 6 to start a new row and chain 3 to start a new square.
  • You can follow the picture graph or the written instructions.
  • The written pattern tells you how many squares to make of each color and in what order.
