CROCHET: HOW TO CROCHET THE CORNER TO CORNER ‘C2C’ BLANKET | BELLA COCO IN FASHION STYLE
Are you looking for a new crochet project to test your skills and creativity? The corner to corner (C2C) blanket is a popular and versatile pattern that can be customized to fit your personal style and preferences. In this article, we will guide you through the steps of crocheting a C2C blanket with the help of Bella Coco, a renowned crochet expert and designer.
CHOOSING THE RIGHT YARN AND HOOK SIZE
The first step in crocheting a C2C blanket is selecting the yarn and hook size that will provide the desired thickness and texture. Bella Coco recommends using a medium weight yarn, such as Caron Simply Soft or Bernat Super Value, and a hook size that matches the yarn weight. However, you can experiment with different yarns and hooks to achieve a unique look and feel.
STARTING THE C2C BLANKET
Once you have chosen your yarn and hook, you can start crocheting the C2C blanket. Bella Coco explains that the C2C pattern involves working in diagonal rows, starting from one corner and increasing until you reach the desired width and length. To start, you will need to chain a certain number of stitches, depending on the size of your blanket.
INCREASING THE C2C BLANKET
As you crochet each row, you will need to increase the number of stitches by crocheting into the chain space of the previous row. Bella Coco provides a helpful diagram that illustrates how to increase on each row and continue the diagonal pattern. You can choose to use one or multiple colors to create a vibrant and eye-catching blanket.
FINISHING THE C2C BLANKET
Once you have reached the desired size of your C2C blanket, you will need to finish off the edges and weave in any loose ends. Bella Coco suggests using a simple border, such as a single crochet or half-double crochet stitch, to give the blanket a polished and cohesive look. You can also add tassels or pom-poms for a fun and playful touch.
INTEGRATING THE C2C BLANKET INTO YOUR FASHION STYLE
Not only is the C2C blanket a cozy and practical item for your home, but it can also be a statement piece in your fashion style. You can drape the blanket over your shoulders as a shawl, wear it as a scarf, or layer it over your outfit as a poncho. The possibilities are endless, and the C2C blanket can be adapted to fit any occasion or mood.
In conclusion, crocheting a corner to corner (C2C) blanket is a rewarding and fun project that allows you to showcase your creativity and skill. With the help of Bella Coco’s expert guidance, you can create a beautiful and functional blanket that fits your personal style and fashion preferences. So grab your yarn and hook, and let’s get crocheting!
I have tried 3 other video tutorials, and this has been the most helpful and the only one that doesn’t make me feel like I’m doing it wrong! Thank you so much!
Do you have a video on how to connect c2c squares together?
Absolutely easy to follow❤ going to follow for more.
Really great video! When making a blanket, for beginners do you recommend that we make individual squares or just keep increasing until we have reached our desired length and then decrease ?
I just learned this pattern and I am loving it. We did it using a graph and it was either a heart or flower. Wasnt keen on either so I'm doing mine all one color. Your video was very helpful.
I know it's a million years since you made this but April 2023 it's getting me going with my first c3c and I've been crocheting for 50 years! Thank you hun X great tutorial ❤️
Such pretty yarn, just started decreasing such a clear tutorial ❤
I had watched a few c2c tutorials before and they were not as explanatory as you were. You are such a blessing to us crochet beginners 😭
Beautiful i love this pattern. Thank you for this video. Will definitely use it to make my blanket.💗
Would the sides of the length be half of how big you want the blanket since you have to go back down in decreasing?
thanks so much! i have been trying to understand this style for so long. i watched your video over and over, and it finally clicked!!!! THANK YOU!!!!!!!!
OMG I LOVE YOU!! I HAVE BEEN STRUGGLING SO HARD TRYING TO FIGURE OUT HOW TO DO THIS STITCH I'VE WATCHED SO MANY VIDEOS TRYING TO FIGURE IT OUT AND FINALLY YOU SHOWED ME YOU JUST… IT WAS JUST AS PLAIN AS ENGLISH…. THANK YOU SOOOOO MUCH!!
Hi, thank you for tutorial on this. Am attempting a blanket with this. Could you recommend a border for it when complete please.
When you say at the end it’s ok with any yarn as long as not too thin… what would too thin be? I have a Jewelspun yarn that suggests 5mm hook… do you think this is ok?
Thanks
I tried making this blanket but it ends up turning up crooked?
What do you do when you want to make a twin blanket with this pattern? You have your blanket wide enough but still need to work up a bit
Thank you for these clear, easy to follow instructions and your slow steady pace. Also, thank you for not wearing a bunch of garish nail polish.
Hi everyone, I’m really new to crochet. I’ve tried to click on the link to find out how much yarn I need but it’s not letting me access it.
Any guidance would be greatly appreciated
My very favorite blanket to do is the C-C, but for some reason, starting one has always baffled me. I've almost given up making them for good….and then….YOU HAPPENED to my tutorial feed and without any frustration, I started my very 1st stress free C-C blankie! 😁🍷🍷 Thank You!!!
Thanks for this! Other tutorials say to slip stitch into the top of the first three stitches when starting a new decrease row, while you say to do it into the spaces between the stitches. Is this just personal preference?
