Corner to Corner Crochet

When you hear the term corner to corner (or C2C), you may think of the popular stitches that look like little blocks that you crochet in a diagonal fashion. I have a tutorial for that popular stitch here.

However, corner to corner is more of a technique/method/style where your crochet piece starts in one corner and ends in another corner. You are basically crocheting your piece in a diagonal manor by increasing both ends of a row and then decreasing both ends of a row to get your square shape.

There are many stitches you can use in a corner to corner fashion. Some other popular stitches you can use in a corner to corner style are the granny stitch and the moss stitch.

Crochet Silt Stitch

For this blanket, I am using the silt stitch in a corner to corner style to achieve the look of the blanket.

This blanket was a happy accident, as I was trying to utilize the lemon peel stitch in the beginning. I ended up doing a slightly different variation and it just so happened that there was a name for the stitch – the silt stitch.

The crochet silt stitch alternates single and double crochet – super easy! When building upon the rows, the single crochets lay on top of the single crochets and the double crochets lay on top of the double crochets.

This combination of stitches produce a subtle texture. Add a corner to corner style to it and it looks beautiful!

You will now begin to decrease both sides to complete the square.
