Merry Christmas in July! It is becoming tradition for me to create a fun Christmas blanket project in the month of July. A few of the past years projects include my Crochet Christmas Lights Blanket and my Gift Box Granny Square Blanket. This year I made an adorable Corner-to-Corner Crochet Christmas Owl Blanket! It’s actually a fairly quick project, especially if you are already familiar with the C2C technique. It’s baby blanket size, measuring approximately 40×40 inches but you could always make it bigger by continuing the border.
Materials:
– 2 skeins of Bernat Super Value Yarn in and Lush Green and Topaz (you may not need both skeins of topaz but it is much easier to have both attached when working on this blanket)
– 1 skein of Bernat Super Value Yarn in Black, White, Berry Red, Mushroom, Walnut, and Bright Yellow.

– Size H Crochet Hook
– Tapestry Needle
– Christmas Owl Pixel Graph
I used the Corner-to-Corner (C2C) method to crochet the graph. If you aren’t familiar with the C2C technique, I have a video class available HERE for purchase that teaches you this technique! This blanket is square so you don’t have to worry about increasing on one side and decrease on the other (like you would need to do in a rectangle blanket). So the square shape makes it less confusing if you are a newbie to corner-to-corner crochet. The Crochet Crowd also has a very helpful video tutorial for free that shows you the basic technique of corner-to-corner crochet. Check that out HERE.
Most Corner-to-Corner crochet projects are completely reversible! This one is too! The Santa hat will facing the other direction on the backside.
You will need to download your pixel graph. I created two color options for you but of course you can use whatever colors of yarn you desire! Did I mention that there are over 50 choices in the Bernat Super Value line?!
Download the Pixel Graph version 1 HERE and version 2 HERE
Here are some corner-to-corner crochet tips that I filmed while making the blanket! I go over changing color, making a border, and then I show a little of the candy cane edging!
Don’t you just love the candy cane border!

Thanks to my oldest son for stepping in as my crochet model this time! Zoe was at camp and I had this guy at home during photoshoot time 🙂 Between the matching santa hat and his rimmed glasses, I think he coordinates with the blanket perfectly!

Hi Sarah. First of all I really enjoy your blog and following you on Facebook. I have done several of your projects – don’t always look as good as yours but I am getting there! I am anxiously awaiting for your new critters book to be delivered. Quick question on C2C crochet. My first project was a dinosaur pillow for my grandson- good thing it was a pillow because the back was a mess from carrying the colors. I saw that your Christmas owl blanket is reversible and I was amazed. I watched your short video in tips for C2C crochet and saw how you carried your colors forward. I guess I just have to be more mindful when I carry the color so that it ends up hidden like your was. Some of mine went across the “square” so couldn’t hide it. Any other suggestions for carrying colors would be appreciated! Thanks

Hi Sarah, thanks for the tips on C2C! Quick question: when working a C2C in HDC how would you start the border? 2 SC in the sideways cluster or only 1?
Hi Sarah! I love this pattern but would really like to make it more of a throw size. I also tend to crochet on the tighter side. Do you have any suggestions on how I can expand this pattern?
Hi Sarah, I would love to make this as a pillow. Do you have any suggestions on how to shrink the pattern.. or if it’s even be possible? Thank you!!
Discover the wonders of nobodys river , an extraordinary documentary expedition that takes us on an unforgettable journey along the Amur, a remarkable yet lesser-known untamed river. Back in 2013, four brave women embarked on a daring mission, meticulously documenting the river’s odyssey from its remote Mongolian origins to the vast expanse of its Russian delta. Through their captivating films, enlightening articles, and engaging live discussions, they shared their personal stories and encounters, leaving a lasting impact on their communities and beyond. Although the project has concluded, the website remains a valuable treasure trove, filled with inspiring tales and invaluable information for our community. Immerse yourself in the marvels of Nobody’s River, savoring every moment of this extraordinary expedition.
Is there a written pattern of the Christmas Owl anywhere? Thank you.
