Crochet C2C Double Crochet Afghan Pattern

Corner to Corner for Squares & Rectangles

Do you love corner to corner and want to change it up a bit to add texture and different sets of stitches? I have a solution for you. Try the double crochet corner to corner.

Corner to corner doesn't mean it has to be square. It can be a rectangle, in this pattern, I will show you how to do both and customize it to match whatever you need.

This pattern is inspired by an existing pattern from Yarnspirations called the Daisy Blanket. The pattern also includes that really cute flower on the top to crochet with it.

For me, I get lazy and don't always want to change colours. So what I decided to do was to use the Bernat L'il Tots Yarn that has colour variegation and I added ridges to the blanket to give it the obvious appears as a corner to corner.

Below, I will give you the pattern written for just double crochet and then give you the pattern as my ridges really provide texture. I leave it to you to decide what you prefer.

If you want the flower, visit the original flower, just visit the original pattern called Daisy Blanket on Yarnspirations.

Pattern without Ridges - Regular DC

The pattern starts in one corner and progressively gets wider until you are ready to start decreasing.

Hook, 5.5 mm Size I

1. Ch 5.
2. (RS). 2 dc in 4th ch from hook (counts as 3 dc). 2 dc in next ch. 5 dc. Turn.
3. Ch 3. 2 dc in first st (2 inc made). 1 dc in each of next 3 sts. 3 dc in last st (2 inc made). 9 dc. Turn.
4. Ch 3. 2 dc in first st (2 inc made). 1 dc in each dc to last dc. 3 dc in last st (2 inc made). Turn. 13 dc.
5. Continue as Step 3 until you get to the width you want before starting to decrease.

Decreasing as a Square Size

1. Ch 3. (Yoh and draw up a loop in next dc. Yoh and draw through 2 loops on hook) twice. Yoh and draw through all loops on hook - dc2tog made. 1 dc in each st to last 3 sts. (Yoh and draw up a loop in next dc. Yoh and draw through 2 loops on hook) 3 times. Yoh and draw through all loops on hook - dc3tog made. Turn.
2. Continue as Step 1 until you are at the final point of the corner.
3. Final Corner, Ch 3. Dc3tog. Fasten off.

Decreasing as A Rectangle Size

When decreasing as a rectangle, one side stops growing and the other side continues to grow to create the rectangular shape. Once the growing side gets to the length you need, you then finish it off like a typical square version where both sides are decreasing.

1. Ch 3. 2 dc in first st (2 inc made). 1 dc in each dc to last 3 stitches. (Yoh and draw up a loop in next dc. Yoh and draw through 2 loops on hook) 3 times. Yoh and draw through all loops on hook - dc3tog made. Turn.
2. Ch 3. (Yoh and draw up a loop in next dc. Yoh and draw through 2 loops on hook) twice. Yoh and draw through all loops on hook - dc2tog made. 1 dc in each to the last stitch. The last stitch gets 3 dc. Turn.
3. Repeat Step 1 and 2 until the growing side gets to the length you want.
4. Once you have the length. Begin Decreasing as a Square Size to finish off.

Mikey's Pattern with Ridges

Mikey's pattern has obvious ridges through the use of Back Loops when crocheting along. You can follow the same instructions as above for both Square and Rectangle but substitute the stitches to be using the Back Loop Double Crochet.

If you need further help on what the back loops are. Here's a quick lesson.
