I'm late to the C2C party, I know. But, I recently learned this unique stitch and found out....it's WAY easier than I thought! What is C2C you may ask? Well, it's the abbreviation for the method of Corner to Corner crochet. This is when you start in a bottom corner and crochet the given stitch diagonally to the opposite top corner by increasing/decreasing stitches to make a square or rectangle. If you would like a video tutorial for the basic C2C, I recommend this one by Blossom Crochet.
However, for this week, I thought we could discuss the various other stitches used in C2C since there are SO many of them! Let's take a look at the list:
Mini C2C: This variation is done by creating a chain 5 to begin each block & completing half double crochets VS the chain 6 & double crochets for the regular C2C. You can find the video tutorial by Blossom Crochet here.
Waffle C2C: This one is an interesting take on C2C. By using the Waffle stitch, little diamonds are created instead of squares. I have found no video tutorials, but the written pattern can be found here.
Suzette C2C: This beautiful stitch has a very feminine feel while remaining dense & textured. Again, I couldn't find a video tutorial, but the written pattern can be found here.
Moss C2C: This simple, yet gorgeous stitch is perfect for just that: a simple, yet gorgeous project. The video tutorial by Blossom Crochet can be found here.
Wattle C2C: This stitch has a very floral feel to it and the texture makes it great for washcloths, dishcloths, blankets, etc. The video tutorial by Blossom Crochet can be found here.
Sedge C2C: This is yet another beautiful, floral feeling stitch with quite a bit of texture. Yet again, I couldn't find a video tutorial, but the written pattern can be found here.
Lemon Peel C2C: This stitch has an interesting look, which most say looks like, you guessed it, the peel of a lemon. You can find the video tutorial by Loops and Love Crochet here.
Silt C2C: This stitch is similar to the Lemon Peel, but with a slight difference. You can find the video tutorial and written pattern by Maria's Blue Crayon here.
V-Stitch C2C: This stitch can be worked with half doubles or doubles and creates an airy, yet not too holey fabric. No video tutorial...again. However, the written pattern can be found here.
V-Stitch Shell C2C: This lacy stitch is beautiful & perfect for an accent square or an entire blanket. Again, no video tutorial, but the written pattern can be found here.
Waves of Grain C2C: Unlike other stitches, this one has no foundation chain or counting stitches AND the combo of the v-stitch & puff stitches gives it a very natural feel. Once again, no video tutorial. The written pattern can be found here.
Spider C2C: This stitch is perfect for those beginners ready to take it up a notch. As you've probably guessed, no video tutorial, but the written pattern can be found here.
Cable C2C: As stated on this site, this stitch sort of resembles the Waffle stitch when worked up. Just a written pattern again, which can be found here.
Alpine C2C: Made from the cozy, ridged stitch, this one is perfect for blankets. The video tutorial by Jolie Knots Crochet can be found here.
Granny Stitch C2C: Made from the classic crochet stitch, this is PERFECT for beginners. You can find the video tutorial by Blossom Crochet here.
Bean Stitch C2C: This one is simple, once you get a hang on the many loops, & creates an almost woven look while remaining squishy (who doesn't love some squish?) There's no video tutorial, but the written pattern can be found here.
And there you have it! Some awesome C2C stitches to try in your next project! I'd love to see what you all make with these, so feel free to comment or email me your makes. 😉
