Gauge
Using the Mini C2C Technique, make a square that is 10 blocks by 10 blocks. It should measure approximately 4 x 4 inches (10 x 10 cm).
Notes
It is very important to follow the graph from either the bottom left corner or the top right corner. This helps minimize the amount of ‘fixing’ you will have to do later. Written Instructions are given from the bottom left corner.
Due to the nature of C2C crochet, some of your blocks will not be touching (even though they look like they are touching on the graph). This can easily be fixed when you are weaving in your ends. Video Tutorial by Repeat Crafter Me.
Graph
Instructions
This square is worked in the mini corner to corner (mini C2C) method. Your first diagonal row will consist of 1 square. Each subsequent row will add one square. After the corner you will lose one square each row.
To make the first square: ch 4, hdc in 3rd and 4th ch from hook (1st square & row 1 completed)
Increasing Rows: ch 4, hdc in 3rd and 4th ch from hook, *sl st to ch 2 space of the next square from the previous row (you will need to flip the square up to reach it), ch 2, hdc twice in same ch 2 space* repeat from * to * until you make a square above the last square of the previous row.
Decreasing Rows: turn your work, sl st once along the top of the last square you made and once into the ch 2 space of the last square, *ch 2, hdc twice in same ch 2 space, sl st to ch 2 space of the next square from the previous row* repeat from * to * until you make a square next to the last square from the previous row.
Color Changes: When you have 3 loops of your hook from the last hdc of the current color, draw up a loop from the new color to pull through the 3 loops and finish the hdc, then sl st to the next square and complete it as normal with the new color.
It is suggested to work from the bottom left corner to the top right corner. When working on the right side of the work, keep your tails behind your work. When working on the wrong side of the work, keep your tails in front of your work. (You can choose which side is your right side and which side is your wrong side or follow my recommendation in the written instructions below).
