new trend? c2c crochet graphgan...

Hello to all!

I was looking around on Ravelry for a few baby gift ideas and patterns, while surfing I came across some cute blankets with pictures in them. I have made quite a few myself over the years, but I kept seeing c2c in the pattern name or description... I had no idea what it meant. I had to look! These blankets were so cute and had a lovely texture to them. Here is a great video explaining how to crochet Corner 2 Corner while following a graph.


I had to give this a try! I've made these 'graphagans' before by using single crochet with color changes, single crochet with cross stitch (least fave) and Tunisian crochet (fave!)... So I went searching for charts, graphs, c2c. But the best I found was under pixel art and 8 bit!

Here was my try....it was quite advance considering the color changes...

Here is my block: 4.00mm hook and ww yarn 6.5 in

Omg! The ends, look at my wip!




But.. My son loved it! I was thrilled with the texture and how fast it worked up while being totally easy to learn!

Here is a sneak peek on what I chose one of the baby blanket gifts to be:


Also, it was a lovely warm day outside today! Sure beats the snow from a few weeks ago. I was able to take my furry ferret outside and enjoy the fresh air with the dogs and family!





And...Eric has a new post on his page/tab! GO check it out and give some love!!

Thank you for stopping by! Hope you enjoyed!
