Box Stitch Crochet: Use the Corner-to-Corner Stitch in New Ways to Make 20 Hats, Wraps, Scarves & Accessories by Corinne Freeman is a fantastic new book written especially for those who love the crochet box stitch, aka the corner to corner or C2C stitch! And if you don't already love it, this book might just change your mind...
Disclaimer: I was given a copy of this book for review but all opinions are my own. This post includes affiliate links.
Just like it says on the cover, Box Stitch Crochet includes a good variety of projects - shawls, cowls, hats, even a dress!
All of the patterns are very wearable - though I definitely have my favorites!
That camisole is too fun for summer, and the Starlight Super Chunky Scarf makes a Super Big Statement!
I just have to point out the gorgeous detail of the Butterfly Shawl too. Stunning!
And the Candy Stripes Cowl makes great use of the flow of this stitch!
I see lots of these Celebration sets being given as holiday gifts this year too:

I've tried the C2C before and loved how it looked. Had a huge problem getting the shaping correct. Got so confused I ripped it out and never picked up again, too frustrated. Maybe this book would get me on the right path...
Kathy says
Same problem here
Judy says
Jean and Kathy, sometimes it takes seeing the stitch worked in person. My friend tried desperately to follow a pattern she had downloaded but was so frustrated, she gave up. I sat with her, both of us holding yarn and hook, and had her mimic me as I did C2C. She couldn't believe how easy it was. Now she's made 3 afghans and I'm still on my first one! If you know anyone who can work the stitch with you, it might be all you need to become as proficient as my friend.

I struggled with the C2C stitch until I watched a YouTube video. Now it's one of my favorite go to stitches. Easy and projects work up quickly!

Stephanie says
I just taught myself C2C and I am "hooked"!!! It's by far my new favourite technique. It just works up so quickly!!
Nadine Z says
I have yet to attempt a C2C. Maybe this book will be my beginning. Looks like there are plenty of things to try your hand at the stitch without committing to an entire afghan. Starting with a something like a headband looks more my speed!
Paula M. Spangler says
Love your patterns so very much . Would really love the butterfly shawl
Debbie White says
I've never tried the C2C but love the look!
