What is corner-to-corner crochet (C2C)?

Corner-to-corner crochet, also called C2C, is a method worked diagonally in small blocks made with chains and double crochet stitches. In this blanket, each paw print panel is crocheted separately, then joined together to create the finished design.

Pattern details

Here’s a quick overview of the materials, finished size, gauge, and pattern notes before you begin.

Skill level

Advanced beginner — This pattern uses standard corner-to-corner (C2C) blocks with simple color changes. You should already feel comfortable with the basic C2C stitch before you begin.

Materials needed

• Crochet hook size: J-10 6 mm crochet hook
• Yarn: Worsted weight yarn in white, blue, pink, green, and purple
• Yarn needle: Use this to weave in your ends.
• Scissors: Use scissors to fasten off your yarn.
• Stitch marker(s): Use these to help keep track of your stitches. 

Finished size

Each rectangle panel measures 20 x 27.5 inches (51 x 70 cm).

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.

Crochet abbreviations

• dc = double crochet
• sc = single crochet
• hdc = half double crochet
• ch/chs = chain/chains
• st/sts = stitch/stitches
• sl st = slip stitch

Pattern notes

• This blanket uses the corner-to-corner (C2C) technique.
• You will crochet all 4 panels first, then sew them together to make the blanket.
• You can follow the graph or the written instructions for each panel.
• Each C2C block is made of ch 3 + 3 dc.
• ↙ Right-side rows: You are looking at the front of the panel.
• ↗ Wrong-side rows: You are looking at the back of the panel.
• Tip: In C2C, you turn your work at the end of each row, so the front and back alternate.
• The pattern is written in US crochet terms.

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.

Can I change the colors or customize the design?
Absolutely. You can swap colors to match your décor or personalize the blanket for a specific pet while keeping the same panel layout.
