How to Crochet Corner-to-Corner using the Granny Stitch

May 13, 2018

I’m so happy to see the excitement around this new project I’m working on! I’m creating a Corner-to-Corner (C2C) blanket but this time I am using the Granny Stitch! The granny stitch is a crowd favorite and I’m so excited to show you that you can use this stitch while working diagonally in the corner to corner format. I’ve created a video for you with a small swatch of this project. This was the easiest way to teach both the increases and decreases. The finished blanket that I am working on will be in a separate blog post that is coming soon! There is a very special story behind this project and the colors I chose to use but I want to save that for later 🙂

Materials:
– Caron One Pound yarn in Cream and Soft Pink. 
– Caron Jumbo yarn in Baby Rainbow.

– Size G Crochet Hook
– Tapestry Needle

Granny Stitch =  3 DC + chain 1
Puff Stitch =  Yarn over, insert the hook in the stitch, yarn over, draw the yarn through the stitch, yarn over, and draw the yarn through the 2 loops on the hook. In the same stitch, repeat until you have 6 loops on your hook, yarn over, and pull through all the loops.

C2C Granny Stitch Pattern:
Starting with yellow
Magic Ring, Chain 4 + 3 DC + Chain 1 + DC all in magic ring, pull tight, chain 4, turn
Row 2: working in first chain space, 3 DC + chain 1, working in last chain space, 3 DC + chain 1 + DC, chain 4, turn
Row 3: working in first chain space, 3 DC + chain 1, working in next chain space, 3 DC  + chain 1, working in last chain space, 3 DC + chain 1 + DC, chain 4, turn
Row 4: working in first chain space, 3 DC + chain 1, working in next chain space,3 DC + chain 1, working in next chain space, 3 DC  + chain 1, working in last chain space, 3 DC + chain 1 + DC, change to pink yarn, chain 4, turn
Row 5: working in first chain space, 3 DC + chain 1, working in next chain space, 3 DC  + chain 1,working in next chain space, 3 DC  + chain 1, working in next chain space, 3 DC  + chain 1, working in last chain space, 3 DC + chain 1 + DC, change to rainbow yarn, chain 5, turn
Row 6: Special Stitch (Puff Stitch) in this row!! Totally optional.
working in first chain space, Puff Stitch + chain 2, continue Puff Stitch + chain 2 in the rest of the chain spaces until last space, Puff Stitch + chain 2 + DC, change back to pink yarn, chain 4, turn
NOTE: Continue pattern as you’ve been doing with increases until ready to decrease. The tutorial below will now shows decreases for my small sample square but you will most likely want to create a larger blanket.
Row 7: SKIP first chain space, make 3 DC + chain 1 in next chain space, continue the granny stitch (3 DC + chain 1) in all chain spaces until you reach the last chain space, DC in last chain space, change to yellow yarn, chain 4, turn
Row 8: SKIP first chain space, make 3 DC + chain 1 in next chain space, continue the granny stitch (3 DC + chain 1) in all chain spaces until you reach the last chain space, DC in last chain space, chain 4, turn
Row 9: SKIP first chain space, make 3 DC + chain 1 in next chain space, continue the granny stitch (3 DC + chain 1) in all chain spaces until you reach the last chain space, DC in last chain space, chain 4, turn
Row 10: SKIP first chain space, make 3 DC + chain 1 in next chain space, 3 DC + chain 1 in next chain space, DC in last chain space, chain 4, turn
Row 11: SKIP first chain space, make 3 DC + chain 1 in next chain space, DC in last chain space, fasten off and weave in ends.

    Hi Sarah,
    What a great pattern! Thanks for sharing! I also love making shawls using this method (but obviously not decreasing back into a square). It’s so simple and you can easily use other stitches to create awesome effects. Thanks again!

    Thanks so much for the video and pattern on this corner to corner blanket. Much easier than the c2c pattern I’ve tried before! Your video is great, because you explain the steps, but do the stitches quickly. For those that are beginners and don’t know the stitches yet, they can always slow the video down or refer to the plethora of how-to videos that are out there. Thanks again, keep up the good work!

    I love this pattern and am getting ready to start the decrease. However, I want to make it rectangular and will only be decreasing one side. Does that then mean that only on the one side I will put just the one double crochet? I’m thinking that’s how it how it should be but now I’m second guessing myself. Thank you!

    I have just finished 2 pair of your Baby UGG boots, and I was wondering what I might attempt next. I didn’t have far to look to find the pattern for this beautiful blanket. I am almost 60 years old (in a month!) and when I was a little girl, probably 4 or 5 years old, my Grandmother crocheted a granny square dolly sized blanket for me and one for my cousin. I don’t have any grandchildren yet, but my cousin has 2 beautiful grandaughters and I think that I will make one of these for both of them. Thank you so much for sharing all your beautiful patterns. You are my
