Corner to Corner (C2C) Blanket Tutorial

- An in depth tutorial showing how to make the popular corner to corner (C2C) blanket using self striping yarn. For this blanket I used just two balls of Bernat Baby Blanket Stripes and a 9mm hook. This gave me a blanket about 3'x3' with the edging.
Yarn used: Bernat Baby Blanket Stripes

That is the FIRST time anyone has EVER explained planning for yarn cakes. Thank YOU
In 40 years of crocheting I’d never heard it was important how you turn your project and to keep the working yarn behind your work. I love when I can learn something new after all these years.
Thank you! I have watched half a dozen other videos on C2C and none of them made much sense. Tonight I got about 15 rows done with your help! Thank you!
So glad you made this video. Your instructions are clear, your voice reassuring, your a great teacher! Thanks!
Thank you! I hope to have a few more tutorials coming out soon!
Please have more tutorials on different stitches for afghans or baby afghans. Thank You
I'm new to C2C and I just love it. Your tutorial is great... especially with thicker yarn....
Thank you for the video. Very clear instructions. I'm loving this c2c stitch!
You are welcome! I'm glad you found it helpful! Thanks for watching!
I really liked the thoroughness of this tutorial. I am experienced in crochet but was thoroughly engaged and learned corner to corner. I like the color changes!
I'm glad you liked it! Thanks for watching!
When I first saw c2c I quickly thought “nope”. However, your video explains it well and I think I can try it now. Thanks!!
Awesome! I love working with Bernat blanket yarn. this pattern works up so nicely...thank you!
Thanks for watching!
Wow this is so cool.. I never thought of doing Corbett to corner with blanket yarn.. your so talented.. thank you for the video
C2C is very versatile and it works up so fast with Blanket yarn! Thanks for watching!
Mr Greg Rob got his steaks this morning. I guess fed x delivered them.
Very thorough!! You covered all the important bases, so THANK YOU!!👍❤
Glad you liked it! Thanks for watching!
I love your teaching style. Im new to crochet and your videos are excellent!
I am a first time subscriber to your channel. You did a great job explaining everything and the closeup view made it easy to see exactly what you are doing. Also, your explanation about using the yarn from the outside instead of from the inside was the first time I had heard that and it makes sense. Thanks.
Glad it helped! Thanks for watching!
Just picked up my crocheting again so was looking for a cute blanket to get into the swing of things and ran into your channel. Love the blanket and also love your sweet vibe. Just what i need 💖
That's great! Thanks for watching!
thanks, I needed to know and see how to start decreasing. YAY.
Glad I could help! Thanks for watching!
I just got myself 4 cakes. I’m going to do 2 for each side and see how big it will be. 😃👍🏽
Thank you, I finally found a video that taught me how to do this project, yeah!!
Glad I could help! Thanks for watching!
Beautiful! Thanks!
Thank you! Thanks for watching!
I am a new subscriber. I LOVE the 2C2 crochet pattern. Thank you for a nice presentation. 😊
Interested and watching. Good point about the ball collapsing. Bernat is so thick that I usually work from the outside anyway or wind it into a center pull ball.
Thanks for watching! I'm glad you found it helpful!
Yep. It’s the only one I’ve seen with bernat. That’s all I use and wanted to see how it would look. Glad to see yours is just as holey as mine. 😂
Great tutorial, and love your hair and nails too!
Love the teaching process. I need to finish off border can you do video of that please
Can you show how to decrease one side to make a rectangle blanket that is what I find confusing
Thank you for this fantastic tutorial. The explanation of using a cake was a lot of help to me
I am a beginner and leftie. I found your tutorial very clear. I will soon try to do this project. This increase and decrease thing seems kind of hard. Let’s see how it goes. Thanks for your tutorial!
First one ever your instructions are wonderful i would like a bigger one for a lap blanket how many rows should i do
How many rows for lap afghan thank you
If I want to do a square c2c afghan I can make it as long as I want before I begin decreasing correct. This will be my first attempt at c2c
I am a new subscriber and I really like your work!
Thank you!
I want to make a lightweight blanket for a king size bed. But I don't know how many cakes of #3 weight self striping yarn and I would like to have the blanket hang over the sides a little. Can you help me wiith this?
thank you so much for showing how you do the decreasing. I have made a smaller blanket with different wool; I have been stuck doing the decreasing I just couldn't get my head around how to do it. Also what is the reverse crab stitch. I love the shade of your thread. as I am in the UK we don't have it here. thank you again. Sandra
Glad it was helpful! The crab stitch is a reverse single crochet. I have a tutorial on the channel on how to finish the blanket with this stitch. It's a little tricky to start, but it's worth it in in the end! Thanks for watching!

What a beautiful blanket I am using regular Red Heart yarn a really pretty Peach with stripes of Gray I think I made my original increasing too large I wanted it to match on both sides I'm not sure when to stop increasing
You stop increasing on one side when you hit the width of the blanket you want. You can find standard blanket sizes with a quick google search. You can keep increasing on the other side until you want to make it rectangular. If you want a square you stop increasing on both sides at the same time. I used a stitch marker to mark the side that you are doing the increases on so you don't get it mixed up. Thanks for watching!
Could I use Bloom chunky big yarn? Im trying to make a baby balnket for my 30th Grandchild. Im [ast beginner, but Im not sure about the yarn or hook size.
How do you stitch through the open blocks when doing borders
I would like to make a c2c blanket for a queen size bed. Would you know how much Bernat blanket yarn I would need? Like how many yards or ounces...
How many rows for a baby blanket before you decrease
I love the hair even more than the blanket! What did you use to get your hair that cold? And did you bleach it first?😎
Thank you! I have it dyed at a cosmetology school near my house. They used to use Pravana and now they use Pulp Riot. I have it dyed roughly every six- eight weeks and bleached every other dye job. It's a long process and and it is a lot of upkeep but I really love having my purple/pink/blue hair.! Thanks for watching!
Omg! I used the same yarn for a c2c blanket. 😁
That's awesome! I thought it worked pretty well! Thanks for watching!
Does it create the same weight as C2C with a worsted weight. I'm working towards the last corner of my second blanket using Simply Soft. It's nice and heavy, but takes forever. I'm worried I'll have to sacrifice weight for time saved
Me encantó Saludos desde Chihuahua México
Thank you! Thanks for watching!
Que trabalho lindo
Thank you!
Thank you for your tutorial. Good instruction!!. Can you please count the nr. of boxes in each side? I have similar yarn and don't know the size in end. Tnk❤🌹
Sorry, I just saw this! I'll count the boxes when I get home and let you know. I just worked until I had a little over half my yarn left. And then started decreasing. Thanks for watching!
I counted my widest row is 21 boxes from corner to corner.
Thank you for going slow enough that. I can understand easy
I'm glad it was helpful! Thanks for watching!
Mine turned out more like a diamond shape. I feel like it started feeling off when I was descending on the other side. What did I miss?
I'm not totally sure without seeing pictures. If I had to guess maybe you increased on one end and decreased on the other? Can you share pictures with me on Facebook?
No problem, I think I will try this pattern one more time with a blanket and I'll let you know if I have issues again. Probably user error ;)
The one I am making was doing the same I just couldn't make out where I was going wrong but seeing the video sure makes it easy to understand doesn't it. The border well that is something else
Not sure why you didn’t clip off the short yellow on the first cake instead of the gray and finish the gray since you were at the widest part of your blanket then start with the white?
I'm not quite sure what you mean, but I was aiming to make sure I had the same amount of each color and in the same order throughout the blanket. There are usually a few ways that this can be achieved. Thanks for watching!
Do you have a written pattern?
If I want this blanket larger do I just continue until I reach my length then start decreasing on each side I would like 5x5 foot square
Add a reply
Thank you so much
Yes just continue to increase until the two sides are as big as you want them. Then you can decrease. Thanks for watching!
How many rows did you do before you decreased
I decreased after 21 rows, but the important thing is that you decrease when you have used half of your yarn (or less than half if you are saving yarn for a border). Thanks for watching!
I really like the look of this blanket and this yarn but I think it’s a bit beyond me at the moment as I’ve only been crocheting for 3 weeks. I will have to see if I can get that yarn here in the UK. I would have liked to see a few more rows slowly up close as I didn’t quite get the pattern but as I said I’m a real beginner
I'm sure you will be able to do it soon! I actually like it for a beginner because you don't have a huge row of chains to work into to start the blanket. If there is anything I can help with just ask here, on Facebook, or on Instagram! Thank you for the feedback, I'll keep it in mind for the next tutorial. Thanks for watching!
I made a baby this way. Loved the outcome. I will never make one ever again.
Oh no! I'm glad you liked the outcome but I'm sorry it must not have been a great experience. I always liked the C2C because it gets long in the middle but it's faster at the end when I want it to be over- unlike a shawl where it just keeps getting longer or a rectangle blanket where it is the same throughout. Hope you find a project that you love the outcome and love the process! Thanks for watching!
how many rolls before decreasing
You can do as many as you like. I started decreasing after 21 rows. There was nothing special about that amount of rows. I had two balls of yarn and started decreasing when I had a little bit of the first ball left, that way I knew I wouldn't run out. Thanks for watching!
Where in the uk can i buy the yarn please
Unfortunately I live in the US, so I'm not sure that you can get it looks like the Wool Warehouse carries Bernat Blanket in the UK! I love them! I don't see the Bernat Blanket Stripes yarn that I used in this video, but Bernat Blanket is the same but only one color or one variegated colorway and I you can choose any colors and join them to make the stripes. You'll even solve some of the issues that I complained about (like wonky stripes). Hope that helps! Thanks for watching!
I’ve tried the stitch so many times I don’t know why but mine always flare on the sides. What can I be doing wrong?
If I had to guess you might be bunching them all together at one end of the chain space instead of evenly across the chain space? If that's the case then it would come out in blocking. If you want to share a picture with me on Facebook or Instagram, I would take a look at it and see if I can help. Thanks for watching!
Experiments in Crafting as soon as I get home I will shoot you over a pic
Thank you so much for getting back to me
I had the same problem until I just gave up on it! I had to cut the ends of the yarn off because of pulling it out and starting over again and again 😭
Got a written pattern for this stitch?
I don't have one personally, but this one on Red Hearts website (www.redheart.com/free-patterns/crochet-corner-corner-throw) should have the same pattern. If you use a self striping yarn like I did or if you use a solid and don't want stripes, you can just ignore their instructions to change colors. Thanks for watching!
Hello I'm a new subscriber and I searched to see if you've done a Bernat Pop yarn review? If not, would you please do one? My color is Snow Queen. I started to make a baby blanket for my great granddaughter and I'm doing the ripple pattern. I really appreciate your yarn reviews as they are so helpful. Thank you very much and Tia for your reply. Be blessed. 💕😊✌🏼🙏🏻
I haven't done a review on Bernat Pop, because I have never bought it, but I'll take a look at it again the next time I'm at a craft store. I am sure the blanket for your great granddaughter will be beautiful in the Snow Queen colorway! Thanks for watching!
Thanks so much!

Hello! Would you be able to make a beginners crochet video? I like the way you crochet, I have not seen that before.
I do have 6 beginner crochet videos with basic stitches. I'm curious in what way I crochet differently. Is it just the way I wrap my yarn with my left hand or is it something else? Is there something specific you are looking to see? I would be happy to give it my best try!
I found your videos! Thanks!@@ExperimentsinCrafting
Q
I am just NOT getting this decrease. and I am considered an expert. I have taken it out 3 times and it's still not right. Maybe changing color is what confused me. I don't know.
I'm sorry it's not going well. I can see if I can explain it better in text? When you get to the end of the row don't do the chain 6 part. Instead turn the project and slip stitch in each stitch until you get to the nearest ch 3 space. Then Ch3 and double crochet 3 in that ch space. slip stitch to the next ch 3 space and continue the middle part of the pattern. Do this until you run out of rows. I hope this helps. Comment again if I can help with anything else! Thanks for watching!
sorry rows
