How To Crochet Corner To Corner Granny Square

Materials Needed:

• Yarn of your choice
• Appropriate sized crochet hook for your yarn
• Stitch markers (optional for rectangle)
• Scissors
• Tapestry needle for weaving in ends

Pattern:

Beginning the Granny Square C2C:

1. Slip Knot:
   • Create a slip knot and place it on your hook.
2. First Row, First Block:
   • Chain 4: Yarn over and pull through the loop on the hook 4 times.
   • Insert the hook into the first chain from the hook, slip stitch to form a ring.
   • Chain 3: Counts as the first double crochet.
   • Into the ring, make 4 double crochets. Remember, the chain 3 acts as the first double crochet, so you should have a total of 5 double crochets in the ring.
3. Second Row:
   • Chain 3, turn your work (the chain 3 counts as a double crochet).
   • Make 3 double crochets into the space on the side from the previous row (this is the second block).
4. Subsequent Rows:
   • For each new row, chain 3 and turn.
   • Always place 1 cluster (3 double crochets) in the gap between posts from the previous row except for the side spaces where you will do 4 double crochets (includes the chain 3).
5. Continue Building:
   • Continue this pattern: On the sides, make 4 double crochets (1 chain 3 + 3 double crochets); in the center spaces, make clusters of 3 double crochets until you reach the desired width.

Changing Colors:

1. Finish the last double crochet but leave 2 loops on the hook before completing it.
2. Loop through your new color to complete the double crochet.
3. Cut the previous yarn color and knot the ends together.
4. Begin your new row.

Weaving in Ends:

1. Before starting with the new yarn color, weave the previous color’s end.
2. This helps in camouflaging the ends and secures them with the next row stitches.

Decreasing for Square:

1. Reducing Rows:
   • Chain 3, turn but skip the first space. Then, create your first cluster in the next space.
   • Continue making regular clusters until you reach the end.
   • On the final edge, instead of making a cluster, just do 1 double crochet.
2. Continue Decreasing:
   • Follow the same process: chain 3, turn, skip the first space, and do clusters as usual.
   • Keep reducing until you have a single cluster left.

Making a Rectangle:

1. Define Rectangle Width:
   • Use a stitch marker to mark the width.
   • When you reach the desired width, stop growing one side of the blanket while continuing to grow the other, as specified below.
2. Stopping Growth on One Side:
   • Chain 3, turn, skip the first space, continue clusters on the growing side.
   • On the non-growing side, continue usual clusters.
   • Use marker to remember the sides.
   • Repeat reducing on the marked side while building on the growing side until the desired length is achieved.
3. Finish Rectangle Reduction:
   • Chain 3, turn, skip the first space, continue clusters.
   • Both sides will start decreasing concurrently.
   • Continue decreasing until you have one cluster left.

Creating a Simple Border:

1. Single Crochet Border:
   • Make 2 single crochets in each side gap continuously around the blanket.
   • In each corner, make 3 single crochets.
   • Adjust the tension by adding more single crochets if edging pulls too tight or reducing them if it waves.

This step-by-step guide ensures you achieve a neat and customizable C2C granny square or rectangle. Enjoy your crochet project!
