Two years ago I had the pleasure of creating this Polar Bear C2C Blanket for Simply Crochet Magazine! It was published in Issue 50 which you can read about HERE. Luckily I am now able to also share the pattern right here on my blog for free! YAY!! It’s the perfect project to hook up for Christmas or the winter season.

Materials:
– Bernat Super Value Yarn (I originally used Special Aran yarn sent to me by Simply Crochet. I believe it is only available in the UK). Bernat Super Value would be a great replacement. I would go with colors Cool Blue or Aqua (2 skeins), White (2 skeins), Berry Red, with a bit of gray (or clay) and black. Shop the colors at Yarnspirations.com! 
– Size H Crochet Hook
– Tapestry Needle
– Polar Bear Pixel Graph

I used the corner-to-corner crochet method to make this blanket.

First you will want to download the Polar Bear Pixel Graph. You can do that HERE. When you are done, it will be reversible! The same image will appear on either side (the polar bear will just be facing the other direction). If you aren’t familiar with the C2C technique, I have a video class available HERE for purchase that teaches you this technique! The CrochetCrowd also has a very helpful video tutorial for FREE that shows you the basic technique of corner-to-corner crochet. Check that out HERE.

When you are finished crocheting the graph using C2C crochet, you can add a snowflake border!

Polar Bear C2C Blanket Border

Round 1: With white yarn, SC to join between any of the squares on the edge. Chain 2 and SC in the next space between squares. Repeat around all edges making a SC + Chain 2 + SC in the corners.

Round 2: Slip stitch + Chain 4 + Slip stitch in the first chain 2 space, chain 4 and skip next chain space, slip stitch + chain 4 + slip stitch in the next chain space, repeat around making a SC + chain 2 + SC in the corners.

Round 3: [slip stitch, SC, chain 2+ slip stitch in second chain from hook, SC, chain 3 + slip stitch in second chain from hook and last chain, SC, chain 2 + slip stitch in second from hook, SC, slip stitch all in one chain 4 hump], make 3 SC in next chain 4 space, repeat from * in next chain 4 hump, repeat around making a SC + Chain 2 + SC in the corners. Join, fasten off and weave in ends.

If you like this blanket you might also like my Polar Bear Cub C2C Blanket! You can find the pattern for that cute project HERE.

A few weeks ago I got a fun e-mail in my inbox from Yarnspirations featuring their new Foodie Baby Lookbook. I was so excited to see all the adorable food-inspired crochet patterns! If I had more time I would crochet all of them but the one I really loved was the How About The Apples Blanket! It a fun corner-to-corner design with red apples with one apple that has been eaten down to the core.

As I was about to get this project on my hook, I just happen scrolled through the Five A Day Knit Cardigan and noticed the pattern included 3 SUPER CUTE pixel graphs: An Avocado, Watermelon Slice, and Apple. I couldn’t resist the watermelon graph and decided to make a blanket (similar to How Bout The Apples) but with watermelon slices!

Get the Graphs HERE in the pattern for the Five A Day Knit Cardigan 

I love the way these watermelon slices look when crocheted corner-to-corner! I originally crocheted the seeds as well (chain 4, slip stitch in 2nd chain from hook, SC in next, HDC + SC in last) but then I decided it was easier to just use a tapestry needle and long piece of black yarn to stitch the seeds on.

I’m using Bernat Super Value yarn in colors Natural, Lush Green, and Magenta. And of course my trusty Size H Crochet Hook (the one pictured is from Polymer Clay Shed!)

Each individual watermelon slice C2C measures approximately 10 x 11 inches. I would definitely make a bigger blanket with at least 9 slices but this one is a car seat blanket for my friends new baby! My finished blanket with only 4 watermelons and the border measures about 25 x 26 inches. One watermelon slice does intentionally have a bite out of it if you couldn’t tell 🙂

I stitched the squares together with my tapestry needle and long strand of yarn using the mattress stitch. Then I crocheted a border of SC stitches. 3 rounds of natural color, 3 rounds of magenta, one round of green, and then one more round of green using the reverse SC stitch. Always be sure to make a SC + chain 2 + SC in your corners!

I’ve already seen a few of you making other things with these cute foodie graphs like pillows! Now I’m tempted to make myself an avocado pillow!

Remember you can find these pixel graphs in the Five a Day Knit Cardigan Pattern from the Yarnspirations Foodie Baby Lookbook. I also recommend you browse this adorable free lookbook for tons of inspiration and fun food-themed patterns!

Meet Zoe’s friend Talia! Talia has a beautiful crochet blanket that has been in the family for many many years. It is her favorite blanket and well worn because she carries it with her everywhere she goes. The blanket was unraveling in several spots so Talia’s mom asked if I could replicate the blanket and crochet her a new one – but this time with more pink added in (Talia’s request)! Of course I couldn’t let our sweet little friend down! I’m sure she will still cherish the original blanket and I hope she likes her new one!

Since I wasn’t able to see the blanket in person (Talia and her family live in Oregon and we are now in California) I had to work off a few pictures. The blanket isn’t a true square granny blanket (notice the “square” stops and the corners keep going – It’s actually more of a diamond, not a square) I decided to make 4 separate pieces using the C2C Granny Stitch and sew them together to achieve the look of the original blanket. It worked perfectly! It was also nice to be able to take the 4 smaller projects with me on-the-go instead of a hauling a huge blanket around. I did some research to try and match the yarns to the original blanket and decided on Caron One Pound in Cream and Soft Pink, and Caron Jumbo in Baby Rainbow. I think I’m pretty spot on! What do you think?!

You will want to view my post on How to Crochet Corner-to-Corner Using the Granny Stitch to find a full tutorial  (video too!) on how to make the 4 squares. Once you learn the technique, please refer back to the post below for sizing and finishing details.

Materials:
– Caron One Pound yarn in Cream (2 skeins) and Soft Pink (1 skein) 
– Caron Jumbo yarn in Baby Rainbow (1 skein)

Finished Size: 50 x 50 inches including the border

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.

The blanket is made up of mostly the Granny Stitch except for the parts where I used the Baby Rainbow yarn with the puff stitch. Refer to my video tutorial HERE on how to make these stitches as a corner-to-corner piece. Each of my finished C2C squares (there are four) measure about 24 x 24. Below is the list of rows and color changes for each 24 x 24 square piece.

Row 1-4: cream
Row 5: pink
Row 6: rainbow (puff stitch)
Row 7: pink

Fasten off but leave loose ends. You will need these to stitch your pieces together!

Lay your 4 pieces together (be sure you have a diamond shape in the middle) and use your loose ends to stitch together using your tapestry needle and the whip stitch. Be sure ALL ends are woven in.

Now lets work on the border! 
Starting in any space along the edge, attach your baby rainbow yarn and make a puff stitch + chain 4. Skip the next space and make another puff stitch + chain 4. Continue along all edges making a puff stitch + chain 4 in every other space along the border. When you get to the corners you will make a puff stitch directly in the corner stitch. Join to top of first puff stitch. Weave in ends.
Border Round 2: attach Pink yarn with a slip stitch to the top of one of the puff stitches. Now working in the next chain 4 space, make 5 DC stitches, join with a slip stitch to the top of the next puff stitch. Continue working around the edge making 5 DC stitches in the chain 4 spaces and slip stitching to the top of the puff stitches. When you get to the corners, make a chain 2 + 3 DC + chain 2 and slip stitch to join in all in same corner stitch. Join, fasten off and weave in ends.

I’m mailing the blanket to Taila today and her mom has promised to send pictures when she receives it!

Easter is just a few weeks away but there is still plenty of time to crochet this Bunny C2C Blanket! It really only takes a few days! It also makes a perfect gift for those Spring Babies. The fun part about this blanket is that I used Bernat Pipsqueak yarn to make the ears incredibly fuzzy and soft! Typically Pipsqueak yarn can be difficult to work with because its a fur yarn which makes the stitches hard to see… but don’t fear! Corner-to-corner crochet is the a great match for this yarn! Since you are essentially crocheting over the chain from the previous rows square, there is no exact stitch that needs to be found. This yarn is such a simple element to add that gives the blanket a whole new look and feel! The rest of the blanket is made with my go-to worsted weight yarn: Bernat Super Value. Stock up on both yarns and shop all the color combos at Yarnspirations.com! 

Materials:
– Bernat Super Value Yarn in Lilac (2 skeins), Natural (1 skein), Soft Gray (only small ball need) and Black (only two long strands needed for eyes)
– Bernat Pipsqueak Yarn in color Tickle Me Pink (2 skeins) NOTE: I ALMOST finished the second ear with just one skein – I had six more squares to go. I do believe you could make the bunny with only one skein by crocheting the ears tighter, using a HDC stitch instead of the DC, or going down a hook size.

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.

Finished blanket size is 32 x 32 inches (including the small border)

Big thanks to fellow crocheter Beth for writing out all the color changes!

V = Violet
W = White
G = Gray
B = Black
P = Pink

The border:
With purple, SC between the C2C square, chain 2, SC between next square, repeat all the way around edge making a SC + chain 2 + SC in each of the four corners.
Switch to white yarn
Slip stitch to join in first chain 2 space, make 4 DC in next, slip stitch to next chain 2 space, repeat around. Join to first slip stitch, fasten off and weave in ends.

Need help figuring out how to weave in your ends? I have a tutorial for that!

PS – there really isn’t that many loose ends in this project! It probably took me a total of 30 minutes to weave in my ends.

My friend Tiffany at Daisy Farm Crafts also has bunnies and pixel graphs on the brain! Head over to her blog to see her Modern Crochet Bunny Blanket! She used Bernat Softee Baby yarn and the SC stitch to make her graphgan!

A few weeks ago I started a project just for me! I am obsessed with La Croix Sparkling Water (especially the Pamplemousse/Grapefruit flavor) and I give credit to this refreshing bubble water for helping me kick my diet coke habit which in turn helped me lose all my baby weight! You can read my Weight Watchers Success Story HERE if you are interested in seeing some fun before and after pics! So I thought the idea of crocheting a blanket, using the corner-to-corner method, with an image of a La Croix can would be a fun project 🙂

I used the pampelmousse pixel graph image that accompanies THIS cross-stitch pattern. It costs $4.50 on Etsy to purchase the graph. You can actually buy several different flavors from the La Croix line. They all come as cross-stitch patterns but you can use the pixel graph in the cross stitch pattern the same way you would use a pixel graph for a C2C project!

I used Caron Simply Soft Yarn in the most perfect colors: Grey Heather, White, Watermelon, Strawberry, Country Peach, Robins Egg OR Blue Mint (I screwed up a little and told you Blue Mint originally and then realized I was actually using Robins Egg – you could use either!!), and Royal Blue. Shop all colors HERE at Yarnspirations.com and use the coupon code RCMFBSS20 at checkout!

If you are unfamiliar with C2C, here is what you need to know:

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! 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.

Instead of the traditional C2C method of using DC’s and chain 3’s to make each pixel, I used HDC’s and only chained 2 (and chained 5 instead 6 on the increase stitches). This allowed me to have a smaller overall blanket and tighter stitches but you can absolutely use DC stitches if that is more comfortable for you!

The finished size of my blanket is 47 inches tall x 30 inches wide

Materials:
– Caron Simply Soft Yarn (2 skeins each color listed above).
– Size H Crochet Hook
– Tapestry Needle
– La Croix Pixel Graph. Purchase HERE (affiliate link)

Below are some progress shots!

Ready to start the border?! I used the moss stitch (SC + Chain 1) along the edges. I have a little over 50 stitches on the short edge and 90 on the long edges. Don’t make too many stitches along the edge or else your blanket will ripple. In the corners make a SC + chain 1 two times! I have 8 rounds of white and then 2 rounds of each color in this order gray, blue, light blue, peach, strawberry, and watermelon.

Now it’s time to weave in your ends!! Don’t worry, I have a video tutorial on this HERE to clear up any confusion on how to go about this. I’m not going to lie, you will have A LOT of ends to weave in if you decide to do this project, but it was so worth it to me in the end!

Do you recall? The most famous Reindeer of all?! Yes, it’s Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer peeking out of the corner of this cute C2C (corner-to-corner) blanket! I know we only have about a month until Christmas, but this pattern is pretty easy because there aren’t a whole lot of complicated color changes. I actually didn’t have that many ends to weave in!

The finished size is approximately 35 inches x 32 inches. This is great lapghan or childs blanket size but you could absolutely make it bigger if you wanted to by increasing the border or using DC stitches instead of the HDC stitches that I used.

UPDATE TO ADD: Fellow crocheter Jennifer Burgard has graciously taken the time to write out all the color changes in an easy-to-follow PDF! Download it for free HERE.

Sample of page of 1 of the written color change pattern is below 🙂 Thanks so much Jennifer!

After you have finished the main blanket, you can choose to add a border or leave without a border as pictured above.

With green, SC between between “squares” on edge and chain two in-between. So you will SC +chain 2 + SC all the way around, making a SC +Chain 2+SC all in one stitch in each corner.

Then with green, make 2 HDC in each chain 2 space all the way around the blanket. Make 2 HDC + chain 2 + 2 HDC in each corner.

For the last round of the border, switch to red yarn and SC in each stitch around making 2 SC + Chain 2 + 2 SC in each corner. Fasten off and weave in ends!

I’m back with another holiday corner-to-corner crochet blanket! This time it has a Halloween theme! How cute is this little black kitty peaking up from the bottom of the blanket?! And then an adorable spider comes down from the top to say hello! Halloween doesn’t need to be scary or creepy. I just love making cutsie creations for my seasonal decor!

Materials:
– Bernat Super Value in Lavendar (3 skeins), Black (2 skeins), Carrot (1), Yellow (1), White (1). Shop all colors at Yarnspirations.com.
– Size H Crochet Hook

Download the Halloween Pixel Graph HERE and follow the rows back and forth diagonally from the right hand corner up the left corner.

The border:
Round 1: (with black) Join yarn in between any of the squares along the edge. SC in space between squares, chain 2, SC in next space between squares, repeat around entire blanket. Do not do anything special on the corners.
Round 2: Working over the chain 2 spaces.. DC + Chain 1 + DC + Chain 1, repeat in each chain 2 space around entire blanket. Don’t Do anything special in the corners.
Round 3: SC over each chain 1 space around entire blanket. Make 2 SC + chain 2 + 2 SC in each corner.
Fasten off and weave in ends.

Perfect your blanket with these finishing tips and tricks!
I surface slip stitched the whiskers on the cat. This is completely optional.
Ever wonder why sometimes the squares of the same color seem disconnected on corner-to-corner projects? There is a simple answer and fix to this! See how I use my loose ends to my advantage!

I know many of you have been waiting for this pattern and today is the day that is available RIGHT HERE at Yarnspirations.com! The Daisy Blanket is my latest corner-to-corner design and in this version I used the super soft and tiny Bernat Blanket Tiny Yarn! It has the same soft texture as the regular Bernat Blanket yarn but not as thick and heavy! Perfect for larger graphs and light weight for baby’s first blanket. Of course you can absolutely use any yarn of your choosing and follow the same pattern and graph. Using a thicker and heavier weight yarn will adjust the final size of the blanket. This particular blanket is baby size… perfect for a car seat blanket!

GET THE FREE DAISY C2C PATTERN AND GRAPH HERE

I only needed one skein of each color in the Tiny yarn BUT I recommend that when working with C2C graphs you have multiple skeins attached at one time so you can carry your yarn up from the previous row instead of clipping it off every time you need to switch color.

The border can be continued to become as large as you’d like it!
I only have two rounds of edging but you can have many more!

Every month or two I create a crochet pattern and project to be hosted on the Yarnspirations website – like this one! They do a great job of laying it out, editing, converting the instructions and pattern into their standard format, and taking professional photos! But this all takes time. So this was the cause of the delay between my social media sneak peeks and the final pattern being posted 🙂 Thank you so much for you patience!

Hoppy Day! My bunny C2C project is finished and I turned it into an adorable pillow sham! Such a cute piece of decor for a kids room or for the Easter holiday. And gender neutral! I would love to see someone make a row of gray bunnies! It fits a standard size bed pillow so no need to use a bunch of fiberfil stuffing or search for a custom pillow size to make this project!

Materials:
– Bernat Super Value Yarn in Mint, Baby Pink, Lilac, and Winter White. You will need 2 skeins of Mint (or whatever color you will use for the back). And 1 skein of the other colors. Shop all 73 colors of this yarn at Yarnspirations.com.
– Size H Crochet Hook
– Standard bed pillow
– Tapestry needle

First you will need to download the Bunny C2C Graph >>> Click HERE

I used the Corner-to-Corner (C2C) method to crochet the graph. If you aren’t familiar with the C2C technique, The Crochet Crowd has a very helpful video tutorial for FREE that shows you the basic technique of corner-to-corner crochet. Check that out HERE.

 VERY IMPORTANT: Instead of the traditional C2C method of using DC’s and chain 3’s to make each pixel, I used HDC’s and only chained 2 (and chained 5 instead 6 on the increase stitches). This allowed me to have a smaller overall piece. You can absolutely use the traditional method but your piece will be too large for the pillow sham.

You will want to make two rounds of SC along the edges. To do that, join yarn at any point on the edge and SC evenly around entire piece making a SC+chain 2+SC on the two pointed ends. A good way to keep your stitches even along the edge is to alternate between making 2 SC and then 3 SC along each “square.”

Make 3 large yarn pom poms and attach them to the bunny butts 🙂

After you finish the graph above you will need to make a second piece for the back in a solid color (I used Mint green). Make the same SC border along the edges.

When both pieces are done, SC them together along over the pillow. If you would rather be able to make the pillow removable, leave one button unstitched and use buttons for closer.

Lay back and relax!

Pretty Purple Stripes! I’ve been working on this blanket for awhile now. It was my back burner project that I would pick up here and there and take with me when I needed something simple and mindless to stitch. I decided it was finally time to finish this WIP (work in progress) and share with you the completed project. The best part is that you can choose any color combo for this blanket and with the repetitive rows, it’s a fairly easy one to complete! A great gift idea for all ages.

Materials:
– Bernat Super Value Yarn in Damson, White,  and Lavendar. Shop all colors at Yarnspirations.com. This is a worsted weight yarn with a large selection of colors! I’ve been working on this for so long that I’m not quite sure exactly how much I used. I’m guessing 3-4 skeins of lavender and two each of dark purple and white.
– Size H Crochet Hook
– Tapestry Needle

Finished Size: Approximately 52 inches tall x 40 inches wide. I’m a little under 5’3 and this covers my body. You can always increase in size by adding a larger border or by using thicker yarn and going up a hook size or two.

First you will need to download THE C2C GRAPH.

If you aren’t familiar with the C2C technique, I have a video class available HERE for purchase that teaches you this technique! 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.

The Border:
Round 1: With lavender, SC between any two “squares” on your border, chain 2, SC between the next two squares, chain 2, repeat around. Be sure to make a SC + chain 2 + SC in each corner.
Round 2: Continuing with lavender, make 3 SC over first chain 2 space, 2 SC over next chain 2 space, repeat around. Be sure to make a SC + chain 2 + SC in each corner.
Round 3-4: SC in each stitch around with lavender yarn. Be sure to make a SC + chain 2 + SC in each corner.
Round 5: With dark purple, crab stitch (also called a reverse SC) around entire edge. Make a crab stitch + chain 2 + crab stitch in each corner.

Can’t wait to see your pretty purple stripes! Or whatever color combo you decide on 🙂

With Valentine’s Day right around the corner you might be looking for some cute but simple decor ideas. Look no further! Using the corner-to-corner crochet method, you can whip up a Valentine’s Heart Table Runner in no time! Plus you can make it as long or short as you’d like by adding or leaving off one or more hearts to the design. My runner is 64 inches long and 12 inches wide (not including the tassels). Whether you are planning a romantic dinner or take-out with the kids, this decor idea will brighten your table and put you in a festive mood!

Materials:
– Bernat Super Value Yarn in Berry, Baby Pink, and Winter White. You only need 1 skein of each. Shop these colors and more at Yarnspirations.com.
– Size H crochet hook
– Tapestry Needle

If you aren’t familiar with the C2C technique, I have a video class available HERE for purchase that teaches you this technique! 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.

First you will want to download the Valentine’s Heart Runner Pixel Graph.
You can do that HERE.

Next you will want to download the pixel graph with the end pieces of Valentine’s Heart Runner. You can do that HERE. You will need to crochet two of these pieces.

UPDATE! Thanks to Keilanna Hammond for taking the time to create a written pattern from the table runner graph! She typed out all the instructions for each row to make it easier for some of you, especially since some of you are printing your graph in gray scale. GET THE WRITTEN PATTERN HERE.

Once you have crocheted your two end pieces, you will want to transform the edge with ridges to a smooth edge so you can sew it onto either end of your heart runner.

To smooth the ridges:

Slip stitch across first 3 stitches and slip stitch over the chain 3 which brings you to the first “dip,” HDC in first stitch in the dip, SC in next, slip stitch in next, Slip Stitch over the chain 3. Now you are at the next dip. HDC, SC, slip stitch, slip stitch over chain 3. Repeat all the way down.

Now you are ready to sew the triangle ends on!

Weave long strand and tapestry needle back and forth under the SC stitches on both sides.

Now join red yarn at any point on the edge and SC evenly around entire piece making a SC+chain 2+SC on the two pointed ends. A good way to keep your stitches even along the edge is to alternate between making 2 SC and then 3 SC along each “square.” You will want to make two rounds of SC along the edges.

Now switch to white yarn and make one last round of SC stitches around the entire edge. Remember to make a SC+chain 2+SC on the two pointed ends.
Add a little frill to the last round of your border! SC, chain 4, skip one stitch, SC to next, chain 4, skip one stitch, SC to next, repeat around.
Add a yarn tassel to each end to complete the piece!

Happy Valentine’s Day!

Happy New Year! 2017 is going to be a great year with some amazing new projects and tons of FREE crochet patterns like this one that will be available right here on my blog! I will also be collaborating with Yarnspirations this year and you will find several of my patterns on their site (also free!) throughout the year so be sure to follow along!

My first pattern of the year is this cute little Polar Bear Cub Crochet C2C Blanket! Measuring 32×32 inches it is the perfect size baby blanket and a fun winter-themed project. Like most crochet blankets, you can always make them bigger by continuing to add to the border! You could also make multiple C2C squares and stitch them together like I did with my Christmas Character Afghan.

Materials:
– Bernat Super Value Yarn in Clay, Winter White, Baby Pink, Black and Aqua.  See all the colors at Yarnspirations.com!
– Size H crochet Hook
– Tapestry needle

Finished size: 32 x 32 inch square

First you will want to download the Polar Bear Cub Pixel Graph. You can do that HERE. When you are done, it will be reversible! The same image will appear on either side. If you aren’t familiar with the C2C technique, I have a video class available HERE for purchase that teaches you this technique! 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.

As you can see, you will have some ends to weave in, but overall this is a fairly quick project! See how I weave in my ends in C2C projects HERE.

For the border I made two rounds of SC along all edges (SC + chain 2 + SC in the corners) and then I did the third round of the border in reverse SC stitches (also called the crab stitch)

Happy Winter Crocheting!

You can find a bigger Polar Bear C2C Blanket that I designed in Issue 50 of Simply Crochet Magazine! You can purchase and download it HERE.

Christmas crocheting is now in full swing! And this Crochet C2C Gingerbread House Advent Calendar is hot off my hook! First I created an extra tall and long gingerbread house using the corner-to-corner crochet technique. Then I crocheted little C2C pockets that I stitched on the gingerbread house. It’s countdown to Christmas from the 1st of December all the way down to Christmas Eve! Stuff them with  little treats, candy canes, small toys, or a little note. Make sure you crochet a Gingerbread Man to move pockets so you know what day you are on!

Materials:
– Bernat Super Value Yarn in Topaz (brown) – you will need 2 skeins, Berry (red), Fern, Bright yellow, Mulberry (purple), and White. See all the colors at Yarnspirations.com!
– Size H crochet Hook
– Tapestry needle
– 20 inch wooden dowel rod (about 5/16 inch thick)
– Felt number stickers

Finished size: 21 inches wide x 45 inches tall

First you will want to download the Gingerbread Pixel Graph. You can do that HERE. Originally I designed it so that there was a peppermint window but you will actually need this space for a pocket. Also note that when you are done, the gingerbread C2C is reversible so whatever side you feel looks better, use that side for your pockets. If you aren’t familiar with the C2C technique, I have a video class available HERE for purchase that teaches you this technique! 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.

Then you will make 23 (or 24) C2C pockets in brown. These will be 3 x 3 squares. You don’t really need a graph for this but I am including one below 🙂 Then you will make the last pocket in 4 x 4 size in green to go over the door.

Once you have crocheted the 3 x 3 squares, you will want to SC around three of the edges in white.

Remember that you will want to ignore my peppermint window (it will also save you a lot of ends to weave in!) I’m not going to lie, the “gumdrop” roof does require a lot of color changes and you will have some ends to weave in. Fortunately, the bulk of the project is brown so no ends to weave in there!

Line up your pockets and stitch them on!

Stick your felt number stickers on to the pockets. I used the Creatology brand from Michaels and had to buy 4 packets. You might be able to find other felt number stickers or you can cut your own out of felt.. or use puffy paint or crochet on your numbers! Lots of options and I can’t wait to see what you come up with  🙂

Now to add a candy cane crochet border! First I single crocheted around the entire piece with one round of red and then a second round SC in green. Make a SC + chain 2 + SC in the corners. After that you will want to attach your white yarn (in any spot), make a SC and chain 4, then leave it and insert your hook into the next stitch and with red, make a SC and chain 4. Now insert your hook back in the white chain 4 and join to the next stitch (overlapping the red) with a SC and chain 4. Repeat while alternating colors.

You can see a video of how to do this HERE on my Facebook page or HERE on my Instagram page.

Do the same for the corners, just make 4 chain stitches in the corners.

I used a wooden dowel rod sewn onto the back top of the project to support it. I crocheted  a chain of 40 (with 2 more SC rows) to create a strip to attach to the rod so you can hang it. And then 3 separate strips with a starting chain of 20 and an additional 3 rows of SC stitches. These you will sew over the dowel rod and onto the top back right under the border.

You can find the Gingerbread Man pattern HERE!

Hang on the wall using a command hook and you’re ready for your countdown to Christmas!!

Looking for a quick, easy, and gender neutral baby blanket?! This one is going to be your new go-to pattern! I’ve combined my two newest obsessions: Bernat Blanket Yarn and C2C (corner-to-corner) to create this extra soft and snuggly Teddy Bear Blanket! If you aren’t familiar with Bernat Blanket Yarn, it is a bulky weight, soft and cozy chenille-style yarn that is great for plush blankets, crochet baskets, and home decor accessories. This chunky yarn stitches up quickly so it’s the perfect choice for this project. Even with a small(ish) pixel graph like this one, you can create a nice size blanket! Plus it’s machine washable and dryable for easy care.

If you haven’t tried the C2C (corner-to-corner) technique there are a couple of resources for you to check out. I have created several C2C projects like THIS one and THIS one that you can refer to, but you should definitely take a look at  THIS VIDEO DEMONSTRATION by The Crochet Crowd which is a good starting point to learn how to crochet in the corner-to-corner method.

NEW!! The Crochet Crowd has made video tutorial for this Bernat Blanket Bear C2C project! See their step-by-step video tutorial HERE.

Spring is the perfect season to enjoy a little iced coffee or tea and crochet outside! At least once I week I like to take an hour to myself to sit on the patio and relax with my hook, yarn, and a cup of Starbucks® Black Iced Coffee. But if tea is more your thing, Starbucks® TAZO series has a plethora of flavors… their Chai Tea being one of my favorites 🙂 This weekend I worked up a C2C coffee cup granny square that is perfect for all you coffee and crochet lovers! A great size square for a granny blanket OR use it as a potholder or trivet!

What you see pictured:
Starbucks® Black Iced Coffee: Medium roast and ready to drink from the bottle or pour over ice! Love that it comes sweetened and unsweetened versions. Perfect for busy moms on the go!
Starbucks® Pike Place Roast Coffee: The classic! I grew up in Seattle, WA and Pike Place Market is home of the original Starbucks store. Such a great place to visit if you ever get the chance. This roast is smooth and satisfying! I have the K-cups which make brewing a cup so convenient every morning.
TAZO® Chai Tea Filterbag Tea: A dark tea with sweet cinnamon and ginger added. A great beverage to add into the mix when you want something flavorful and different from your basic cup of coffee.
Starbucks® Etched Siren Mug: Beautiful white on white, clean and crisp engraved logo. I love bringing this one out for brunches and special spring occasions like Mother’s Day and Father’s Day.

Now are you ready to get your hooks out and whip up this super cute coffee cup C2C granny square?!
I am providing the pixel graph below but if you need help figuring out how to crochet using the C2C (corner-to-corner) technique please refers to my Baby Sheep C2C post which has photo and video instruction.

Materials:
– Size H Crochet Hook
– Bernat Super Value Worsted Weight Yarn in Aqua, Taupe, and Mushroom. You can find all colors at Yarnspirations.com!
– Tapestry Needle

Finished Size: 9×9 although yours may be slighting smaller or bigger depending on your tension.
Create a bigger square by adding a border. I added a simple SC border around my square.

So why am I talking coffee you ask? In case you missed some of my previous posts, I am part of the Starbucks blogger community! You already know my love of crochet, but my love of coffee is strong too and they make a perfect pair! So a few times a year I will be reviewing a Starbucks beverage and bringing you a coffee related craft project!

If you enjoyed this post, you may like my past Starbucks projects:

Thank you to Starbucks for providing product for me to review. I was not compensated for this post. All opinions about the coffee and other products are 100% my own!

Friends, I have a real treat for you today! A very talented fellow crocheter named Stephanie Lewis has created an incredible C2C (corner-to-corner) iPhone Graphgan! And she is allowing me to share all of the pixel graphs she created right here on my blog! Inspired by my Emojis, Steph got the idea to make 20×20 square pixel graphs of iPhone Apps, just as the icons would appear on the home screen of your phone. Then she stitched them all together to make a fun and fabulous blanket that looks just like an iPhone! You can see the blanket in progress on her Instagram. Very trendy for todays tweens, teens, and those of us (like me) who love our Apple devices 😉

Thank you so much Steph for your generosity and for allowing me to share not only your graph patterns, but these adorable pictures of your children!!

Please take a moment to thank Steph personally on her Instgram page @steph.lewis or click HERE for the direct link.

All of the pixel graphs are complied into a clear and organized PDF document that also includes notes about how to finish the blanket. If you need more direction about how to crochet using the C2C technique you can refer to my Sheep Graphgan post or my Christmas Character Blanket.

You can download the iPhone pixel graphs for free HERE

Are you or your kids Emoji-obssessed? It’s hard not to love those cute little faces and icons that give your texts and social media posts a little pizzazz! I created 9 Emoji Crochet C2C (corner-to-corner) squares and stitched them together to make a fun Emoji Graphgan! A fairly simple project that you can easily add to.  A great gift for your teen or tween! Don’t forget about the “Poop Pillow” to pair with your Emoji Face Blanket!

You can find all the materials, instructions, graphs and color change patterns by following the links below:

Tears of Joy Emoji

Crazy Face Emoji

Smiley Face Emoji

Blowing Kiss Emoji

Heart Eyes Emoji

Sunglasses Emoji

Embarrassed Emoji

Happy Face Emoji

Sobbing Emoji

Plus two bonus squares: The Poop Emoji and Prayer Emoji

I stitched my squares together by simply SC the edges. First horizontally and then vertically. This is the same technique I used to put together my Daisy Afghan.

Yellow used in tutorial to show the stitches better. I ultimately decided on white for the seams.

I made a simple SC border around the entire edge. First using white, then yellow, brown, and white again. Be sure that you make a SC + Chain 2 + SC on each corner.

I hope you’ve enjoyed this Mini Crochet-along! So many possibilities for this blanket and many other squares could be added! I have included a blanket graph for you to sketch out your own emoji’s at the end of THIS POST.

Hope you’ve enjoyed the Emoji’s! Can’t wait to see your versions!

If you’ve been following my Emoji C2C graphgan you’ve seen the 9 Emoji face squares I’ve created. But this project wouldn’t be complete without the poop emoji! I’ve created a “Poop Pillow” to go with my Emoji face graphgan! And for those who don’t fancy the poop emoji, I’ve also created a “Prayer Pillow” as well! I’m including the graphs for both the poop and prayer emojis in the is post and the directions on how to make the pillow. Or add them as additional squares to your blanket!

To put together a pillow you will need to make a second square that is 15×15 pixel squares (it can be a solid color). You will also need a 12×12 pillow form. I purchase mine at Michael’s Craft Store.

SC the front and back pieces together. You will want to stop after 3 sides are connect. Insert your pillow form and SC the last side closed. Weave in ends.

So which do you prefer? The poop square or the prayer square?!

Want to create your own emoji pixel square? Use THIS blank 15×15 template. Print it out and fill it in with colored pencils. I make my graphs in Excel and then fill in the squares in photoshop.

I am creating a 9-square corner-to-corner (C2C) blanket just like my Christmas Character Afghan but smaller. The squares are 15×15 pixels (where as my Christmas characters were 25×25) and each one has a different emoji face on it! And because of the consistent colors, smaller size, and less color changes, the pieces work up faster. It took me about 1.5 hours to make one square. If you aren’t up for creating an entire blanket, you can use the squares individually! They would make a cute pillow cover or even a small lovey blanket!

If you are new to the C2C technique you can find several tutorials on how to begin. The Crochet Crowd has a great video tutorial that you can watch HERE. You can also refer to the videos and picture tutorials in my Baby Sheep C2C or my Owl C2C for more instruction.

Materials:
– Size G Crochet Hook
– Worsted Weight Yarn in Yellow, Red, Brown, White, Pink, Black and Blue. I am using Lion Brand Vanna’s Choice in Mustard, Scarlett, Chocolate, Pink, White, Black and Aqua (for all squares). You only need about 1 skein for each piece… I think I was able to get two squares out of  1.5 skeins of white and yellow. Obviously the smaller features use less yarn.
– Tapestry needle

Finished Square is approx 12 x 12 inches.

You can download the Happy Face Emoji Graph HERE.

NOTE: I made a last minute decision to leave off the orange and only use yellow. I am leaving the graphs with the orange border just in case you decide you want to crochet yours like that. If you are up for the extra color change I think the emoji’s will look great with the orange! Or you can leave the orange squaresyellow as I did.

Smiley Face Emoji is the seventh square in my C2C Crochet Emoji Graphgan!
It’s probably the most commonly used emoji as well!

If you missed square #1 you can find it here:
Heart Eyes Emoji

And square #2 here:
Sobbing Emoji

And square #3 here:
Tears of Joy Emoji

And square #4 here:
Blowing Kiss Emoji

And square #5 here:
Crazy Face Emoji

And square #6 here:
Sunglasses Emoji

I am creating a 9-square corner-to-corner (C2C) blanket just like my Christmas Character Afghan but smaller. The squares are 15×15 pixels (where as my Christmas characters were 25×25) and each one has a different emoji face on it! And because of the consistent colors, smaller size, and less color changes, the pieces work up faster. It took me about 1.5 hours to make one square. If you aren’t up for creating an entire blanket, you can use the squares individually! They would make a cute pillow cover or even a small lovey blanket!

If you are new to the C2C technique you can find several tutorials on how to begin. The Crochet Crowd has a great video tutorial that you can watch HERE. You can also refer to the videos and picture tutorials in my Baby Sheep C2C or my Owl C2C for more instruction.

Materials:
– Size G Crochet Hook
– Worsted Weight Yarn in Yellow, Red, Brown, White, Pink, Black and Blue. I am using Lion Brand Vanna’s Choice in Mustard, Scarlett, Chocolate, Pink, White, Black and Aqua (for all squares). You only need about 1 skein for each piece… I think I was able to get two squares out of  1.5 skeins of white and yellow. Obviously the smaller features use less yarn.
– Tapestry needle

Finished Square is approx 12 x 12 inches.

You can download the Smiley Face Emoji Graph HERE.

NOTE: I made a last minute decision to leave off the orange and only use yellow. I am leaving the graphs with the orange border just in case you decide you want to crochet yours like that. If you are up for the extra color change I think the emoji’s will look great with the orange! Or you can leave the orange squaresyellow as I did.

Have you found that sometimes your squares don’t connect? This is normal! For example lets look at the smile in this particular emoji. You see the brown squares are connected on one side of the smile, but disconnected on the other. The squares that are connected were crocheted all in one diagonal row, whereas the squares that are disconnected were in separate rows and were actually separated by rows of yellow in-between. This is just the nature of the C2C graph.

Don’t worry, you can fix this!

When it’s time to weave in your ends, stitch your yarn between the two corners about 3 times to created a connection.

Voila! No more awkward space!

If you missed square #1 you can find it HERE:
Heart Eyes

I am creating a 9-square corner-to-corner (C2C) blanket just like my Christmas Character Afghan but smaller.

And because of the consistent colors, smaller size, and less color changes, the pieces work up faster. It took me about 1.5 hours to make one square.

Continue to SC around the edge. I alternated between 2 SC and 3 SC stitch per each pixel square along the edge and a SC + chain 2 + SC in the corners.

The best part about these emoji’s is that most of them look the same when reversed so you can choose whichever side looks better when you are done crocheting to be your front of the blanket!

You excited for this series?! I am! Stay tuned for square #3!

Heart Eyes is the first square is my Emoji C2C Crochet Graphgan! If you missed the sneak peek on Facebook and Instagram no worries, here are the details: I am creating a 9-square corner-to-corner (C2C) blanket just like my Christmas Character Afghan but smaller. The squares are 15×15 pixels (where as my Christmas characters were 25×25) and each one has a different emoji face on it! And because of the consistent colors, smaller size, and less color changes, the pieces work up faster. It took me about 1.5 hours to make one square. If you aren’t up for creating an entire blanket, you can use the squares individually! The Heart Eyes Emoji would make a great pillow cover for Valentine’s day or even a small lovey blanket!

If you are new to the C2C technique you can find several tutorials on how to begin. The Crochet Crowd has a great video tutorial that you can watch HERE. You can also refer to the videos and picture tutorials in my Baby Sheep C2C or my Owl C2C for more instruction.

Materials:
– Size G Crochet Hook
– Worsted Weight Yarn in Yellow, Red, Brown, White, Pink, Black and Blue. I am using Lion Brand Vanna’s Choice in Mustard, Scarlett, Chocolate, Pink, White, Black and Aqua. You only need about 1 skein for each piece… I think I was able to get two squares out of  1.5 skeins of white and yellow. Obviously the smaller features use a less yarn.
– Tapestry needle

Finished Square is approx 12 x 12 inches.

You can download the Heart Eyes Graph HERE.

NOTE: I made a last minute decision to leave off the orange and only use yellow. I am leaving the graphs with the orange border just in case you decide you want to crochet yours like that. If you are up for the extra color change I think the emoji’s will look great with the orange! Or you can leave the orange squares yellow as I did.

The Crochet Owl C2C Blanket is finished and ready! If you’ve always wanted to give the corner-to-corner technique of crocheting a try this is a great project to start with! I have created the owl design with consistent lines and minimal color changes, plus I included a detailed written and photo tutorial for you to follow if you are a beginner which includes directions on how to do increases and decreases, how to add new colors, and how to carry yarn. Also pictures on how to use bobbins! You can find the graph, tutorial, photos, and color change pattern all on the Lion Brand Yarn website! This blanket makes a wonderful baby gift and a must have piece for those of you who are owl-obsessed like me 🙂

GET THE GRAPH, TUTORIAL, AND COLOR CHANGE PATTERN HERE on LionBrand.com!

In addition, I’ve created a full written pattern! Each stitch is written out for those who have trouble reading the graphs.

Thank you to Lion Brand Yarn for commissioning this project and providing the yarn.
If you want to see more Lion Brand Yarn/Repeat Crafter Me collaborations please let us know!

I have some exciting news! I’ve collaborated with Lion Brand Yarn on a new C2C (corner-to-corner) crochet project: An owl baby blanket!! So cute, right?! You’ve seen me give a couple sneak peeks of this on Facebook and Instagram but now that I am about halfway through, I’m able to give you a better look at the design. I created the graph in Photoshop and am working hard on writing out very clear instructions. Even beginners will be able to make this blanket! The tutorial will include the printable owl graph, detailed photo tutorials, a written pattern for the color changes, AND a written pattern for the entire graph (I’ve never seen this done before but we are breaking the mold!). The final post and pattern will be available in early November on the Lion Brand Yarn Blog. I will be sure to let you know when it is finished and give you a link to the final post and pattern when it’s ready!

If you want to get prepared and purchase your yarn right now, I am using Lion Brand Vanna’s Choice Yarn in these colors: Aqua, Sapphire, Silver Blue, Linen, Terracotta, White, and Black. I won’t have final numbers on skeins until the end. But go ahead and stock up now! Great for a gender neutral baby gift or customize it for a boy or girl. The Vanna’s Choice Yarn line has so many wonderful color options!

If you haven’t tried pixel crochet, this is going to be a great project to start with. I’ve purposely created simple lines that work well with the corner-to-corner (C2C) technique. Tips like how to change colors and carry your yarn up without cutting ends will all be included in the tutorial. A big thank you to Lion Brand Yarn for commissioning this project and providing me the tools to work up this adorable little owl!

Stay tuned for more!

Welcome to my new Crochet-Along for 2023! So many of you enjoyed the C2C Gnome CAL last year that I’ve had many requests for a new monthly project. This year will be all about Animal Squares!! These are simple crochet squares that are embellished with adorable animal faces! These squares work up quickly and won’t take you more than an hour or two. This project is extremely beginner friendly and will be less pressure (for me and you) so no need to rush or set aside multiple days in your busy schedule. You can start these anytime!

The first square is already done! It’s an adorable Polar Bear Square. YOU CAN FIND THE PATTERN + VIDEO TUTORIAL FOR THE POLAR BEAR SQUARE HERE.

Note: CAL stands for Crochet-A-Long (typically written crochet-along or just abbreviated to CAL)

How this CAL works:
Each month (January through December of 2023) I will post a new Crochet Animal Square. These won’t necessarily be holiday themed but many of them will be seasonal (for instance, the polar bear represents winter and has a cute little blue scarf on). A few animals are random because I like the colors and it fits with the overall design 🙂 At the end of the year, I will be stitching these all together to make a blanket! But they could also be turned into a pillow(s), a scarf, or any other creative way you’d like to use them.

Unlike last year, I won’t have these ready on the 1st of the month, but I do promise to have the patterns available within the first 15 days of each month. I will also have video tutorials to accompany each pattern where I walk you through each square. The videos will be available on my Repeat Crafter Me YOUTUBE Channel! Be sure to subscribe HERE.

Embellish to your liking! Don’t feel like you have to add all of the animal elements I provide to each square. For instance, maybe you want to leave off the scarf on the polar bear square. Or skip making the toe pads on the paws. There will be other little extra designs like that throughout the year. But also feel free to add your own flair to each square! I encourage you to make these as fun and festive as you want.

The Yarn:
I am using colors from the Red Heart Super Saver line! This is my go-to yarn because it has so many different coordinating shades. It’s a worsted weight acrylic yarn that holds up and is readily available online and in most local craft stores. It doesn’t take much yarn to make these squares. Less than half a skein and some of the colors will repeat throughout. Don’t feel like you need to purchase new yarn, feel free to use what you have in your stash! But if you do purchase some yarn, you can browse the colors of Red Heart Yarn HERE on Yarnspirations.com.

The Backside of the Squares:
The backside of your squares will be messy. But we will cover this up and make them look finished and nice. One option is to make two of each square and stitch them together with the backs facing each other. Another option is to stitch on a fleece backing to the banket in the end. I have done this before with my Reindeer Blanket (SEE IT HERE). Have another idea on how to hide the backside and all those woven ends? Let me know in the comments!

Sizing:
Each square is approximately 7×7 so the finished blanket will be more of a lap size or baby blanket size. There will be 3 squares across and 4 squares down. I plan on thick borders! It’s going to be so cute!

Share your Square!
Be sure to share your finished squares on social media using #AnimalSquareCAL and by tagging @RepeatCrafterMe.

Alternate Animal Designs:
I don’t have plans to make more than one square for each month. I am trying to keep this project simple and manageable 🙂 BUT if all goes well, I will consider extending the project into next year and providing more squares!

If you missed the corner-to-corner crochet Gnome CAL last year, no worries! The patterns are still free right here on RepeatCrafterMe.com.

I’m not trying to give too much away but I am so excited about this project and have all the animals already sketched out! I use clip art and cartoon images to design most of my cute crochet projects like this one. I have the remaining months blurred out so there is some element of surprise but I’m sure you can already guess a few of them 🙂

Happy Crocheting!

Happy Lunar New Year! It’s the year of the Rabbit and I have sooo many adorable crochet bunny rabbit projects that I’ve made over the years. I thought it would be fun to do a little round-up so you can easily access them all. These easy crochet bunnies are also perfect for Valentine’s Day and Easter!

Crochet Bunny from Tuna & Bones Toy DUO Crochet-Along
The bunny was born from my Tuna the Cat and Bones the Dog Crochet-Along. Just by changing up the color of yarn and leaving off the snout on Bones the dog, you can make yourself an adorable crochet bunny! Of course you will also need to create a pom-pom tail. Think of all the ways you could adjust this simple and versatile project!
Get the Tuna & Bones Pattern HERE
Read more about this adorable Bunny in my blog post HERE

Easy Crochet Bunny
Are you ready for some easy amigurumi?! This Crochet Bunny has very little sewing involved because the only pieces that need to be attached are the arms and feet (and those are optional!) The entire body and head and the two floppy ears are crocheted in one piece giving you less parts to sew together and ends to weave in. Just start from the bottom up!
Get the Easy Crochet Bunny Pattern HERE

Bunny Crochet Cups
These little Bunny Baskets are cup size and perfect for holding a few small candies (or non-candy) treats! So easy to work up and great for Easter gift giving and the Spring season. Kids, Teachers, Neighbors, and Friends will all love these!

Mini Crochet Bunny Baskets
These are Mini Crochet Bunny Baskets that are self-closing!! They work in all one piece and after you have filled it with candy, the ears loop together to close the top! Bernat Softee Chunky is the perfect yarn for this project because it’s sturdy and soft and comes in pretty pastels. Each mini bunny holds a plastic egg perfectly (fill it will candy or non-candy treats) or fill it with some pre-wrapped chocolates! This quick and easy Easter project is great for gift giving since you can make a whole bunch of them for a classroom, office, neighbors, teachers, friends, and more!

Bunny C2C Blanket
This Bunny C2C Blanket only takes a few days! It also makes a perfect gift for those Spring Babies. The fun part about this blanket is that I used Bernat Pipsqueak yarn to make the ears incredibly fuzzy and soft! 
Get the Bunny C2C Blanket Pattern HERE

Crochet Bunny Pillow
This crochet bunny pillow is perfect for Easter and the Spring season… plus it’s really easy to crochet! You will follow a pixel graph (one square in the graph = one single crochet stitch) and make two panels. Stitch on a bunny face and add crochet ears to the front. Then single crochet the panel edges together over a store bought pillow form. Think of all the color options! 
Get the Bunny Pillow Pattern HERE

Bernat Bunny Appliques
This Bernat Bunny Appliqué can be used for so many projects. Stitch it onto hats, Blankets, Easter baskets, and more!

It’s time to join our crochet gnomes! This tutorial will work with any corner-to-corner crochet project and the best part is that you DON’T need a border on each of your individual C2C pieces! This is a very simple and effective technique. If you have already made individual borders along each of your gnome panels, don’t worry, you have lots of joining options that I will list out at the bottom of this post.

The first thing I would do is lay out all of your gnome panels in the correct order and position you want them. Choose a yarn color that you want to join your C2C panels with. I am choosing white – simple and clean! You are going to want to join all the seams, first going vertically, then going horizontally down the line. I try to explain this better in my video below:

Holding two of the panels together, you will be making a Single Crochet stitch between the pixel blocks, then make a chain 2 and reach your hook over to the next space between pixel blocks and make another SC. Continue until you have joined all the C2C panels.

The backside has a cool stitched look to it as well!

Alternate joining methods if your C2C panel has a border on it:
Join using the Braided Join Single Crochet as seen in my Corner-to-Corner Celebration Blanket.

Slip Stitch the front loops together as seen in my C2C Bird Blanket

Basic Single Crochet Join as seen in my Emoji Blanket:

And last but not least, one of my absolute favorite blankets and join techniques (but also the most time consuming) is the Tapestry Needle Lace Join (similar to a mattress stitch) that I used on my Christmas Character C2C Blanket.

Get all the details on the 2022 Gnome Project RIGHT HERE!
It’s never too late to start this blanket.

Up next will be a tutorial on how to crochet a border for you gnome blanket!

If you’ve been following the 2022 Gnome Project, you might have noticed this cute little cupcake from my Bonus Birthday Gnome. Here is the individual cupcake pixel graph and written pattern curtesy of Jennifer Freeman from My Beautiful Disasters! You could easily make this into a fun multi-colored cupcake blanket or pillow or purse or any other fun and festive project that uses granny square sized pieces. Finished Size of these squares is about 6.5 x 6.5 inches and they work up very quickly! An easy corner-to-corner project that won’t take you hours to crochet.

It’s the year of the gnomes! This post will be a landing page for the monthly gnomes with links that take you to each individual tutorial. I will continue to update this post until the end of the year. It’s one spot for you to be able to easily find all the gnomes! Not sure what this gnome project is all about? Let me explain! Jennifer from Day by Day Clay and Crochet and I have teamed up for a HUGE year-long project! Each month Jen creates a Gnome Polymer Clay Crochet Hook and I create a matching Gnome Corner-to-Corner Crochet panel. We are focusing on holiday and seasonal gnome designs. The pixel graph and how-to for the crochet portion of the collab will be right here on Repeat Crafter Me and you can purchase the coordinating clay hook from Jen on her Facebook page “Day by Day Clay and Crochet Group!

The 12 months of Gnomes will be stitched together at the end of the year to make a big blanket!
I am using yarns from the Red Heart brand (Mostly Red Heart Super Saver) and you can find the materials and color lists in each individual gnome pattern post (links below)
Shop all colors on Yarnspirations.com

UPDATE: The blanket is finished! Yay! See the finished Gnome Blanket HERE

Be sure to share your gnome projects on social media using the hashtag #2022gnomeproject

If you are new to the Corner-to-Corner Crochet technique, let me explain a little bit about it as well. C2C lets you turn almost any image into a pixel graph and then from a pixel graph into a crocheted piece! The Corner-to-Corner technique basically means the you start in one corner (the lower right hand is most common place to start) and crochet diagonally in rows until you get to the other corner. You follow the pixel graph to create the color changes that make up the picture of the gnome. One pixel square = a chain 2 + 3 HDC stitches. Please note that I am using HDC stitches for the C2C instead of DC.
Below is a Corner-to-Corner Video Tutorial using a part of my May Gnome graph.

Jennifer Freeman of “My Beautiful Disasters” (Find her HERE on FB!) has been writing out the C2C written pattern for each month. You can find links to her written patterns within each individual gnome post (links below)

Diane of Stitch Therapy is making the gnomes using the POPCORN STITCH! I love the way her gnomes are turning out and you can also find her Popcorn Stitch written patterns within each individual gnome post (links below)

Still not comfortable with the idea of Corner-to-Corner Crochet? Don’t worry, you can use single crochet stitches and crochet each gnome as a graphgan.
SpurView Goods has been uploading the SC written patterns HERE

In addition, I’ve seen so many other creative ways to use these gnome pixel graphs. I’ve seen cross stitch versions of the gnomes, perler bead versions, plastic canvas, knitted, and more! Be sure to search the hashtag #2022gnomeproject on social media so you can see them all!

Are you new the concept of Corner-to-Corner Crochet (aka C2C)? Or need some help with the logistics of how to change colors and increase/decrease? Let me help you! I have filmed a long video tutorial because I am walking you through this Tulip C2C block from start to finish! I am using the Half Double Crochet stitch and Red Heart Super Saver Yarn in these beautiful bright Spring colors!
Grab the Yarn: Red Heart Super Saver in Lemon, Spring Green, Grenadine, Medium Purple, Turqua, and Pumpkin. Thank you to Red Heart Yarns for sending me these lovely shades of yarn to work with!

Make a whole bunch of these blocks and stitch them together for a blanket. Or maybe just crochet a couple and create a pouch or small tote bag. How about a table runner? So many ways to use these tiny tulips! I will be sure to have a follow-up post with directions on how to make a border and attach the blocks.

Corner-to-Corner Crochet lets you create a variety of images and pictures and designs using a pixel graph. These graphs are made up of squares. Each square is equal to a Chain 2 + 3 HDC stitches. You will start in the corner (I prefer the lower right hand corner) and you will work diagonally in rows until you get the upper left hand corner.

I will show you how to carry your yarn and increase/decrease on the edges. Increases start with a chain 5, when it’s time to decrease you will slip stitch along the edge to start your next square.

To prepare, I suggest creating 2-3 balls of the background color (Lemon Yellow) because you will need to have several strands attached at one time. With the other colors, you can pull for the center of the skien. It doesn’t use much yarn!

Materials:
– Red Heart Super Saver Yarn in Lemon, Spring Green, Grenadine, Medium Purple, Turqua, and Pumpkin
– Size H Crochet Hook
– Tulip Pixel Graph GET IT HERE
– Tapestry Needle

Finished Size: Approximately 6 x 7.5 inches

I hope you find this video helpful! There are many C2C Crochet Tutorials out there but sometimes it’s beneficial to watch a few different ones for new perspectives.

Thanks to my friend Jennifer Freeman from My Beautiful Disasters for providing the Tulip C2C written pattern!
Sometimes it’s easier to see the color changes written out on paper rather than look at the picture graph.

Do we need another gnome crochet pattern? WE SURE DO! Might as well keep the gnome-theme going this year with another adorable project! These Crochet Gnome Granny Squares are quick and easy to work up and you can make them in sooo many different colors. I am using the same Red Heart Super Saver colors that are in my Gnome Corner-to-Corner Crochet blocks but keeping the design a bit more simple. And of course I am putting my Polymer Clay Gnome Hooks from Jen at Day by Day Clay and Crochet to good use! I think this easy gnome square is going to appeal to those of you who are struggling with C2C (corner-to-corner crochet) but this is also a fun pattern to work on for those of you who are participating in the monthly C2C gnome project and have time in-between.

I couldn’t fight the latest crochet trend! It’s all about cows right now and super cute crochet farm animals! So when I spotted a sweet little cow dishcloth pattern over at Yarnspirations.com, it inspired me to transform it into a sweet little lovey blanket. The cow print pattern comes with a pixel graph and when you download the PDF pattern, the directions will show you how to make this project in single crochet stitches. I decided to use the corner-to-corner technique! And if you’ve been following along with the #2022gnomeproject, I am sure you are now familiar with C2C crochet. Regardless, you can crochet the cow print in a variety of stitches so chose whichever one suits you!

(this is what I used for the main blanket portion of this project)

Here is a short video the corner-to-corner crochet technique I’m using. I decided to use a mini C2C stitch which is a Chain 2 + 2 HDCs for each block.
Let me walk you through it:

Materials:
– Red Heart Super Saver Yarn in White, Black, and Buff Beige
– Size F Crochet Hook
– 20mm black safety eyes (optional)
– Polyfil Fiber Stuffing
– Tapestry Needle

After you have complete the small blanket portion above, add on a cute cow head and arms by following the pattern below!

Cow Head:
Starting with beige yarn
Magic Ring, chain 1 and make 10 SC in ring, join, chain 1
Round 2: 2 SC in each stitch around, join, chain 1 (20 SC)
Round 3: SC in each stitch around, join, chain 1 (20 SC)
Round 4: 2 SC in first, SC in next, repeat around, join, chain 1
Round 5: SC in each stitch around, join, chain 1 (30 SC)
Round 6: 2 SC in first, SC in next 2, repeat around, join, chain 1
Round 7: 2 SC in first, SC in next 3, repeat around, join, chain 1
Round 8-10: SC in each stitch around, join, chain 1
join white yarn, fasten off beige
Round 11: SC in each stitch around, join, chain 1
Round 12: SC Decrease, SC in next 3, repeat around, join, chain 1
Round 13-15: SC in each stitch around, join, chain 1
Round 16: SC Decrease, SC in next 2, repeat around, join, chain 1
Round 17-22: SC in each stitch around, join, chain 1

Now is a good time to add safety eyes between rounds 13 and 14. Space them 10 stitches apart from each other.
You can also stitch on two little nostrils to the front of the nose with a strand of black yarn and your tapestry needle.
Start stuffing with poly-fil fiber stuffing

Round 23: SC Decrease, SC in next, repeat around, join, chain 1
Round 24: SC in each stitch around, join, chain 1
Round 25: SC Decrease in each stitch around, join, chain 1
finish stuffing
Round 26: SC Decrease until closed

Cow Arms (make 2):
starting with beige yarn
Magic Ring, chain 1 and make 12 SC in ring, join, chain 1
Round 2: 2 SC in first, SC in next, repeat around, join, chain 1
Round 3-6: SC in each stitch around, join, chain 1 (18 SC)
Round 7: SC Decrease, SC in next 4, repeat around, join, chain 1
Round 8: SC in each stitch around, join, chain 1 (15 SC)
Round. 9: SC Decrease, SC in next 3, repeat around, join, chain 1
Round 10-20: SC in each stitch around, join, chain 1 (12 SC)

Horns (Make 2):
with beige yarn
Magic Ring, chain 1 and make 6 SC in ring, join, chain 1
Round 2: 2 SC in first stitch, SC in next 2, repeat around, join, chain 1
Round 3-5: SC in each stitch around, join
fasten off and stitch each how to the top of the cow head

Cow Outer Ears:
Make one ear in black and the other in white
Magic Ring, chain 1 and make 10 SC in ring, join, chain 1
Round 2: 2 SC in each stitch around, join, chain 1
Round 3: 2 SC in first, SC in next, repeat around, join, chain 1
Round 4: SC in each stitch around, fasten off.

Cow Inner Ear:
Make 2 in beige
Magic Ring, chain 1 and make 10 SC in ring, join, chain 1
Round 2: 2 SC in each stitch around, join, chain 1
Round 3: SC in each stitch around, join, fasten off leaving long tail.

Stitch inner ear to outer ear. Do not center it. Have the inner ear off to one edge of the outer ear.
Then you can pinch the other side closed and stitch on to either side of the cow head.

There are many spots where you can attach the head and arms to the blanket. I chose directly in the middle but it would look cute if you attached it to the top or corner of the blanket. You could even make 4 arms and attach each one to the 4 corners. Up to you!

I hope you utterly adore this project as much as I do!
