Week 41 Of The FrankenScrap Crochet Along

Our next piece of the FrankenScrap crochet along is made with the Corner To Corner (C2C) stitch. For this piece you will need a total of 58 meters of DK / Light Worsted yarn. I used Lana Grossa Cotone for this piece, a 100% mercerised cotton yarn that is multicoloured. It comes in a large range of colourways, although the Cotone range isn’t easy to get hold of as only limited outlets seem to carry it.

I also used a 4 mm hook – I recommend using Clover Amour hooks. A cost effective hook that is comfortable in your hands thanks to their ergonomic design, so doesn’t make your hands tired when crocheting for long periods of time. I love my Clover hooks and although I own several different hook brands, I inevitably end up going back and using my trusty Clovers.

The C2C stitch is an easy stitch to master and a very popular stitch for making blankets. It works up quickly and because it is made up of square like blocks, it is one of the stitches that can be used for making graphgans – blankets with pictures made by changing colours block by block.

The C2C stitch is not just limited to making blankets, it can also be used for making scarves, clothing, rugs and much more.

Joining Your Pieces

Your finished piece should be 39 stitches wide and 25 rows high, which counts as 39 stitches high for joining purposes since each block counts as 3 stitches You can see how the pieces are joined together here. If you are following my gauge, then your piece will measure 24cm wide and 24cm high. Remember this is just a size indication and if your gauge is consistent throughout, then your pieces will fit together nicely even if your sizes do not match with mine.

The C2C piece should be joined to the remaining unattached stitches on the bottom of week 39’s Treble Clusters stitch piece, and to the left hand side of week 40’s Paired hdc stitch piece.

The layout below shows how your pieces should be attached in relation to each other.
