If you want a gift that you know will stand the test of time, go for a heart-warming blanket. As soon as the recipient carries out the ‘face test’ (yes, the scientific act of grabbing the blanket and rubbing it across their face) they’ll be attached and cherish it for years, even if it get’s dog-eared along the way.
This blanket is worked in a diagonal crochet stitch starting at one corner and finishing at the other (hence its name "corner to corner crochet"). This technique of crochet is also called C2C crochet.
This C2C method is becoming really popular for crocheting as you can crochet cute images such as these and this one here. This also makes a lovely baby blanket and crochet up very quickly.
We are also going to teach you the technique of C2C Join-As-You-Go which is honestly pure magic.
