My seventh Christmas graph is a cup of Hot Cocoa. This chilly weather has me craving warm beverages and I thought a cup of hot cocoa with a candy cane would be the perfect addition to my collection of Christmas and Winter themed corner to corner squares.
These square graphs are the perfect size for baby loveys, pillow covers (although I’d recommend going down a hook size to an H/5mm), one square of a larger blanket, one side of a tote bag, or as wall art (just add a dowel rod and hang it up!).

My completed square measures 17″ by 17″
8 pixel squares= 4 inches
- I/5.5mm crochet hook
- tapestry needle
- Worsted weight yarn in red, white, blue, brown and dark blue

Crochet the pixel graph using the corner-to-corner (c2c) technique. Use the traditional method of making three double crochets for each square. I chained 6 to start each new row and I chained 3 at the beginning of each square.

Picture is from my Letter A Square.
I decided that I wanted to have a thin border around each square. Not only do I think each square would look nicer, it will also make it easier to sew the squares together (you’ll just match up the stitches!) if you choose to do so.
After completing the last square, continue crocheting around the border of your graph with your white yarn. (I forgot to switch my yarn color). In each corner you will work a (sc-ch 1-sc) and in the side of each square you will make two sc.
