C2C Crochet Pattern Round Up – 15 Corner-to-Corner Crochet Patterns
Have you heard about the corner to corner method in crochet?
This is a fabulous crochet stitch/technique where, instead of crocheting side-to-side either horizontally or vertically, the project is crocheted diagonally from one corner to the opposite corner. There are various types including the “traditional” version which uses double crochet (DC) stitches, and other popular styles which use half double crochet (HDC) C2C, granny stitch C2C, or even the wattle stitch C2C. While I like to use the half double crochet method, it’s completely up to you what you prefer!
Now that we’ve got a basic understanding of this, I’m very excited to announce my C2C Creations event! In the first fifteen days of May, I’ve come together with amazing crochet designers, and we’ll release a pattern each day for you to have fun with. This is such a unique collection of patterns with everything from a laptop sleeve, market bag, and blankets to a clutch, teething ring, and more!
I hope you’re all looking forward to it! These patterns will range in difficulty to help you practice different variations of the C2C technique and leave you with a beautiful collection of projects to gift or keep at the end.
