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 with ch 3 + 3 dc, starting in one corner and growing diagonally until you reach the widest point of the blanket, 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 bold designs like this C2C owl pumpkin blanket.

• Kid-friendly size and playful theme
