Crochet Hugs & Kisses On The Side C2C Afghan

Raise your hand if you love C2C patterns!  Well I know that many of you do, so I just had to add one to the Hugs & Kisses collection. This is the Hugs and Kisses On the Side C2C Afghan.

Free Pattern: Crochet Hugs and Kisses C2C

This blanket crochets quickly and easy, but I have to give you fair warning.  If your finished projects must be perfect, then this is not the pattern for you.  I had intended on this being a perfect square, and truly it should be, but alas it looks more like a parallelogram.  So this sort of squareish throw is just perfect in my unperfect world.  When I lay it across my lap or wrap my precious grandbaby in it, perfection doesn’t matter.  It the cuddles and snuggles that matter the most.

I used 4 Caron Big Cakes in Summer Berry Tart and only had a small handful of yarn leftover.  Corner to corner is fun with self-striping yarn, but feel free to use yarn to match your own decor.
