    Published: Sep 26, 2019 · Modified: Feb 11, 2020 by Tamara Kelly · 12 Comments

    You can learn how to Corner to Corner Crochet - aka C2C - in this Moogly video tutorial! Here you will learn the basics of this fun and versatile stitch, both right and left-handed!

    There are a few different methods to work corner to corner crochet with - but here I'm sharing the most common! This method uses double crochet stitches rather than half double crochet stitches, and is also known as the Diagonal Box Stitch.

    Basic Written Instructions for Corner to Corner Crochet:

    To Begin:

    Row 1: Ch 6, skip the 3 chs closest to the hook, dc in each rem ch across; turn. (1 block made)

    Row 2: Ch 6, skip the 3 chs closest to the hook, dc in each rem ch across, sl st in ch-3 sp, ch 3, 3 dc in same ch-3 sp; turn. (2 blocks made)

    Row 3: Ch 6, skip the 3 chs closest to the hook, dc in each rem ch across, *sl st in ch-3 sp, ch 3, 3 dc in same ch-3 sp; rep from * across; turn. (3 blocks made)

    Repeat Row 3 to desired width or length of project.

      Thank you so much! I tried months ago to learn C2C, but I couldn't catch on. I'm sure your tutorial will be quite useful to me. I am left handed and appreciate that most of your tutorials are both right and left handed. I am looking forward to finally learning C2C. Thanks again!

      I enjoy the patterns, tips and hints you include here. I consider myself experienced in crochet and don't usually need a stitch-by-stitch picture tutorial so I greatly appreciate when you offer a written pattern. Thank you very much!
