Pattern Notes for the Colorful Crochet Blanket
- You can choose to follow the pixel graph or the written instructions for each crochet cactus.
- Written instructions are for working from the bottom right corner to the top left.
- Crochet the pixel graph using the corner-to-corner (C2C) technique. Use the traditional method of making three double crochets for each square.
- Chain 6 to start each new row and chain 3 at the beginning of each square.
- If you prefer to purchase a printable PDF of this pattern, visit my Etsy Shop.
c2c Crochet Method
Corner to corner (c2c) crochet is a technique where you crochet “squares” in diagonal rows. You start in the bottom right corner and end in the top left corner.
Each row is increased by one square until you reach the width & length. Each square in the graph = chain 3 + 3 double crochet.
c2c Crochet Increases
Increases are made at the end of each row. Chain 6 and DC in the 4th chain from the hook and in each of the 2 remaining chains.
You will have a chain 3 + 3 DC square. This is your first square for the beginning of the next row. Turn your work and join with a slip stitch to the chain 3 space from the last square made.
c2c Crochet Decreases
The first decreases for both the width and length will create corners. To decrease, turn your work and slip stitch across the 3 DC’s in the last square made.
Join with a slip stitch to the chain 3 space and chain 3 + 3 DC.

Step 2 of the Colorful Crochet Blanket
After you crochet each c2c crochet blanket square, you’ll want to decide how to arrange them.
I decided to make my corner to corner blanket two squares wide and three squares long. Make sure all of your squares are facing the right way.
Sew the c2c crochet blanket squares in each row together and then sew the rows together (pics below).
Make sure you line up the single crochet stitches from the borders. You can use locking stitch markers to keep the single crochet stitches from the borders lined up.
Weave in your ends.
Step 3 of the Colorful Crochet Blanket
Now it’s time to add your border!
Join your yarn. I used White.
Round 1: Ch 2, make 1 hdc in each stitch. In each corner you will want to make 2 hdc to “turn” the corner.
You are done! I hope you enjoyed this pattern. Tag me on Instagram (@lovable_loops) or Facebook to share your pictures with me.
