Crochet Corner-to-Corner Baby Blanket Pattern:

Materials Needed:

  • Worsted weight yarn in your choice of colors (main color and contrasting color)
  • Crochet hook suitable for your chosen yarn
  • Scissors
  • Yarn needle

Abbreviations:

  • ch: chain
  • dc: double crochet
  • st: stitch

Instructions:

Step 1: Starting Block

  1. Chain 6 using your main color yarn.
  2. In the 4th chain from the hook, work 1 dc. This creates your first block.
  3. Continue with 1 dc in each of the next 2 ch stitches.

Step 2: Increasing Rows

  1. Ch 6 and turn your work.
  2. In the 4th chain from the hook, work 1 dc. This creates your first block of the new row.
  3. Ch 3, then work 3 dc in the chain space of the previous row. Repeat from * to * once more. This completes the second block of the new row.
  4. Slip stitch into the ch-3 space of the previous row.
  5. Ch 3 and work 3 dc in the same ch-3 space. This creates the first block of the next row.
  6. Continue increasing as in step 3, by working 3 dc in each ch-3 space across the row.
  7. Repeat steps 4-6 until your blanket reaches the desired width.

Step 3: Decreasing Rows

  1. To start decreasing, ch 3 and work 3 dc in the next ch-3 space.
  2. Ch 3, then work 3 dc in the next ch-3 space. Repeat from * to * across the row.
  3. Slip stitch into the ch-3 space of the previous row.
  4. Ch 3 and work 3 dc in the same ch-3 space.
  5. Continue decreasing as in step 2, by working 3 dc in each ch-3 space across the row.
  6. Repeat steps 3-5 until you have only one block remaining.

Step 4: Edging

  1. To create an edging, single crochet evenly around the entire blanket, putting 3 sc in each corner stitch.
  2. Fasten off and weave in any loose ends.

Step 5: Finishing

  1. Give your blanket a gentle blocking if needed, to ensure the edges are even and the stitches lie flat.
  2. Your corner-to-corner baby blanket is now ready to use or gift!

Description:

The corner-to-corner (C2C) crochet technique is a versatile and visually appealing method to create blankets and other projects. This pattern starts from one corner and increases diagonally until it reaches the desired width. Once the desired width is reached, the pattern begins decreasing diagonally until it reaches a single block, creating a square or rectangular shape.

The simplicity of this pattern lies in the use of basic stitches like double crochet and chain stitches. The blocks are built by stacking clusters of double crochets with chain spaces in between, creating a textured yet lightweight fabric. The contrasting color yarn can be used to create different patterns or designs within the blanket.

This C2C baby blanket is a wonderful project for both beginners and experienced crocheters. The repetitive nature of the stitch pattern makes it easy to memorize and work on while watching TV, during travel, or whenever you have a few moments to spare. Plus, the end result is a cozy and charming blanket that’s perfect for keeping little ones warm and snug.
