Henrietta the crochet chicken inspired me to started on my next Corner-to-Corner Crochet House! This one is a Barn Blanket and it’s the 4th design in my house blanket series.
It starts with a 25×25 pixel graph. I use the corner-to-corner technique to crochet the square and then I will be adding a large border around it. I will be sure to update this post as I add the border to this Barn Blanket.
If you are new to the Corner-to-Corner (C2C) Crochet technique, let me explain a little bit about it. You can take a pixel graph and turn it into a crocheted piece. By starting in one corner of the graph (the lower right hand is most common place to start), you will crochet crochet diagonally in rows until you get to the other corner. One pixel square = a chain 2 + 3 HDC stitches. Please note that I am using HDC stitches for the C2C instead of DC.
HERE is a Corner-to-Corner Video Tutorial on my YouTube Channel that might help.
Materials:
– Red Heart Super Saver Yarn in in colors Cherry Red, Burgundy, Spring Green, Light Blue, Dusty Grey, Saffron, and White.
