How to do the C2C Crochet Pattern Step by Step

In the C2C Crochet Pattern, the C2C abbreviation means corner to corner. Work a group of 3 double or half double crochet (tiles) , increasing each row by 1 until you reach the size of your project.

The pattern works up very fast and goes from corner to corner. There is no wrong or right side. Both sides look the same.

Its a textured dense pattern with an almost straight edge. A border is not necessary but you may put one.

The C2C crochet pattern is beautiful and is very beginner friendly. It only looks difficult. It is especially nice with colors. You can even work patterns into this technique using a graph.

Use this technique to make any square or rectangular crochet fabric. Blankets, scarfs, or anything else that you can imagine.

If using hdc, the c2c crochet pattern is the same except replace ch3 with ch2. Using hdc does not change the crochet fabric density. The hdc is a shorter stitch and may be more suited for graph work. Dc is the more common stitch to use but the user may prefer hdc.

Stitches used:

  • Chain (ch)
  • Slip stitch (sl st)
  • Double Crochet (dc)

When you reach a corner, (DO NOT CH 6 to start a new row).  Instead, flip your work up and work 1 sl st into next 2 stitches. 1 sl st in 3 ch space.

Continue pattern
