The Drunken Granny Stitch is a more spacious approach to granny stitch concepts. For those in warmer climates, you may appreciate this faster-to-crochet granny stitch concept. It has the appearance of corner-to-corner or C2C concepts, as you think it to be. It's created in rows.
The crochet sample below shows Bernat Symphony using a 6 mm / J/10 crochet hook for reference. This type of stitch may be delightful for you because it has fun colour changing.
Match the yarn to the hook size.
