The Classic C2C Stitch
The classic C2C stitch, crocheted using double crochet, works diagonally from one corner to the opposite one. It forms a beautiful fabric that's perfect for blankets, scarves, cushions, and more. Its simplicity and versatility have made it a favorite among crocheters, with applications ranging from baby blankets to scrapgans and graphgans. C2C truly offers endless creative possibilities.
C2C Crochet Patterns
I've personally designed patterns using both the classic double crochet and the half double crochet versions of the C2C stitch. However, I'm brimming with ideas for how to utilise the other versions too! Which C2C variation is your go-to? Whether you're looking for classic elegance or a twist on tradition, the C2C stitch has something for everyone.
