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 of chains and double crochet stitches, starting in one corner and growing row by row until you reach the widest point, 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 fun designs like this love paw print blanket made from individual C2C panels.

Finished size

Once all four panels are sewn together and the blanket is finished, the completed blanket measures approximately 44 x 55 inches (112 x 140 cm).

Gauge

Gauge isn’t super critical for a blanket, but it will affect your finished size. If your gauge is looser or tighter than mine, your blanket may turn out bigger or smaller.

8 C2C blocks (ch 3 + 3 dc) = 5 inches (12.7 cm)

✅ Too many blocks in 5 inches? Try a larger hook.
✅ Too few blocks in 5 inches? Try a smaller hook.

Assembling the blanket

Sew your crochet panels together. Make sure they are facing the correct way. You can use locking stitch markers to hold the panels together.

Add the blanket border

Join white yarn in any corner and ch 2. Work hdc evenly in each stitch around the blanket.
In each corner, crochet (hdc, ch 2, hdc).

Finishing

Fasten off and weave in all ends. Block the blanket if desired to help the panels lie flat and the edges look neat. Your love paw print blanket is now ready to gift or use.

Frequently asked questions

Is this a beginner-friendly C2C blanket pattern?
This pattern is best for advanced beginners. You should already be comfortable with basic C2C stitches and simple color changes before starting.

How big is the finished crochet blanket?
The completed blanket measures approximately 44 x 55 inches (112 x 140 cm). Each individual panel measures 20 x 27.5 inches (51 x 70 cm).

What yarn and hook are used for this pattern?
This pattern uses worsted weight yarn in white, blue, pink, green, and purple, along with a J-10 (6 mm) crochet hook.

Can I make this C2C blanket bigger or smaller?
Yes. You can adjust the overall size by using a larger or smaller hook and yarn, or by adding additional rounds to the border. This pattern does not recommend adding more C2C blocks to the panels, as that would change the design proportions.

Absolutely. You can swap colors to match your décor or personalize the blanket for a specific pet while keeping the same panel layout.
