Crochet Corner to Corner Floating Borders
Crochet Corner to Corner Floating Borders

Half Double Crochet Corner to Corner known as C2C can be done. Floating crochet border diagram included.

I prefer the floating border as the stitches will naturally rest in the space that you have provided in the first round. It's a beautiful finished look.

You can change the corners in the 2nd round to be (2 hdc, ch 2, 2 hdc) instead to provide space so you can continually grow it out. However, with half double crochet, some corners should be (1 hdc, ch 2, 1 hdc) as it is a less tall stitch. You may need to see for yourself if you go in this direction.

Sarah from Repeat Crafter Me is an expert at the corner to corner stitching concept with an armful of free patterns. Tease yourself by snooping over on her website with her free patterns.

Please note, most of the designs in Corner to Corner are using double crochet but you may find the half double crochet stitch in corner to corner more to your liking.

Crochet C2C Corner to Corner Diagram

I created a Half Double Crochet Square Corner to Corner C2C Diagram for your visualization. As educators, we keep presenting you diagrams in this format that are squared to the page, when in fact, you are crocheting in rows that resemble this below.

Half Double Crochet Corner To Corner Rectangle 1 I recommend when you are following a diagram in this format to turn it 45 degrees so the beginning box is the absolute bottom.

  • For following Graphghans Corner to Corner like the C2C Crochet Christmas Owl Blanket by Repeat Crafter Me.
  • You can start at any corner but Sarah prefers to start on the bottom right for consistency for her work.
  • You can use the Tutorial for C2C Graphghans Work and just substitute with Half Double Crochet as shown below.
  • For right or left-handed crocheters, follow the diagram as shown. There is no difference between a right and left-handed crochet graph in this format.

You are welcome to download and print the individual diagrams and have this Half Double Crochet Corner to Corner Border. Both of these plus the square format with written instructions is provided in the main download with the blue button above.

Written Instructions for the C2C HDC Border

Project Concept

  • Half Double Crochet can be used for Corner to Corner, known as C2C. There’s just a small difference in the chains but it has its advantages:
  • Half double crochet is denser and will pull together a bit tighter. However, if you are following an existing diagram in double crochet format, expect your project to be smaller as the stitches are not as tall.
  • It will still be beautifully squared.
  • You can still apply a border.

Yarn

Choose any yarn you wish and hook size that compliments the hook. The gauge will be determined by your hook.

Abbreviations

  • Approx = Approximately
  • Ch = Chain(s)
  • Cont = Continue(ity)
  • Dc = Double crochet
  • Rem = Remaining
  • Rep = Repeat
  • Rnd(s) = Round(s)
  • RS = Right side
  • Sc = Single crochet
  • Sl st = Slip stitch
  • Sp(s) = Space(s)
  • St(s) = Stitch(es)

Corner to Corner Border

I prefer a border that has the first round as a floater round, where the second round frames the entire project.

1st rnd: Join to the top of a ch 2 in a corner. Ch 1, (1 sc, ch 2, 1 sc) in same beg st, *ch 2, [1 sc in next sp between ch 2 and hdc st, ch 2] rep [ ] across to next corner. ** (1 sc, ch 2, 1 sc) in top of last hdc, turn to go down next side. Rep from * two more times, then rep from * to ** once. Join with sl st to beg sc.

2nd rnd: Sl st to next ch 2 corner sp, ch 2, 4 hdc in same corner sp. *3 hdc in each ch 2 sp to next corner, ** (5 hdc) in next corner. Rep from * two more times, then rep from * to ** once. Join with sl st to top of beg ch 2.

2nd rnd alternative: Substitute corners for (2 hdc, ch 2, 2 hdc) in you want to build border out more in further rounds.
