Corner to Corner C2C
chain 6Row 1. Double Crochet in the 4th, 5th and 6th chain from hook
Skip first three chains, DC in 4th, 5th, & 6th chain from hook
This completes the first row.
Row 2: chain 6
Skip first three chains, DC in 4th, 5th, & 6th CH from hook (INCREASE MADE)
Flip up first square.
Skip three DCs of first square. SL ST around the CH 3 post of the 1st Square.
CH 3, 3 DC down same post:
Row 3:chain 6
DC into 4th, 5th, & 6th CH from hook, turn work
Have you noticed how the chain 6 and then the double crochets in the 4th 5th and 6th chain from the hook creats the next row.
Skip next three DCs. SL ST around CH 3 post of next square.
**CH 3, 3 DC down same post. Skip next three DCs. SL ST around CH 3 post of next square:**
repeat ** to ** of above squares, across each row.
repeat Row 3 (Increase Row) until work is as wide as required
To continue working in *length* while maintaining the same width - you need to do a Decrease Row. This is because you are NOT increasing one square at the beginning of each row.
Decrease Row - CH 3, Sk next 3 DCs. SL ST around the CH 3 post of previous row's first square, Ch 3, 3 DC down post
Skip next three DCs. SL ST around CH 3 post of next square.
**CH 3, 3 DC down same post. Skip next three DCs. SL ST around CH 3 post of next square:**
Continue by ALTERNATING BETWEEN
*Increase Rows* (to make the rectangle taller, but now wider) and *Decrease Rows* (which will maintain the width) until you "close up" the afghan with the last square.
After Finishing last square - CH 3, turn, and SL ST around CH 3 post of previous row. This will even out the sides of the afghan
there are a number of videos to show you as well.
Red Heart has a very nice video with Mikey.
i hope youenjoyed this and found it interesting.
Thanks for the tutorial.
I am going to ask a question to the forum (I am using translator, I hope you understand me), how do you guys with the threads behind? Cut them? Or "carry"? I'm still struggeling sometimes with the correct numbers of chains for different patterns, but this looks like a good start to count up and down - thank you very much I love c2c! It's a cleaner way to do pixel style art instead of 1 stitch=1 pixel. It is more time consuming though, with all the bobbins to carry the various colors. I never make C2C because it looks like very difficult , after reading the above instruction, it seems not as difficult as i thought, thank you for sharinng I really like this type. I saw one pattern, one beautiful blanket but I am still learning basic tecniques.
I search here pattern but I didnt find a lot.
