Today’s pattern round up is a follow up to last weeks Practice your C2C Crochet Skills round up. Last week I posted a round up of patterns that allowed you to practice your skills without worrying about color changes. But, today, you get to step up the challenge and begin working on graph with fun color changes-yippee!
As a reminder these round up are in response to a C2C lesson we had in my facebook group. Below is the explanation in my last blog post:
This year, I have been focusing on learning new crochet skills. Even as a designer, who has over 30 years of crochet experience, I have so many things to learn. This past month, I had a guest speaker come and talk to my facebook group (SP3 Crochet & Conversations) about Corner to Corner crochet, also know as C2C.
Malena from, Straight Hooked, taught the course and went over everything from reading graphs, how to build the crochet blocks, how the stitches increase/decrease, color changes and any other info we wanted to know. She did an amazing job and there is a replay available if your interested in watching, click HERE.

As part of the lesson, Straight Hooked, designed a FREE laptop cover pattern for everyone. It was a fun project for us to practice our skills on. Here is my practice swatch, I still need to make the back and seam them together. Find your copy of the laptop cover pattern for FREE by clicking HERE.
Start Practicing Your Color Changes in a C2C Graph Pattern
Changing colors in a Corner to Corner pattern add a slightly new challenge after you master the stitch. However, this is what makes the technique so much fun. I have gathered some of the cutest C2C projects that use color changes but won’t be overwhelming to you.
C2C Graph Patterns
Free Flamingo Wallhanging Pattern - by Winding Road Crochet
Bright colors, a cute design and a great message-this is seriously the cutest design. Small enough that it isn't intimidating for beginners but big enough to get color changing practice.
Free C2C Baby Blanket - by Calleigh's Clips
These darling animal squares can be made and sewn together to make a darling blanket. This is a fantastic project for beginners because the squares are small so you can easily double check your work.
Free Alphabet Blanket/Squares - by Lovable Loops
Another fun small squares project idea! Make the full blanket or just monogram it into another project. Letters can be a fun way to personalize so many different things.
Free Naps Pillow – by Katie Bug Designs
Yes! I need this! And those POMS-in love! I love pillows and how they can easily change the look of a room, this one needs to go in my reading nook.
Free Flower Truck Blanket - by Left In Knots
I have always been a huge fan of old trucks, but this one takes it to the next level. I cannot pinpoint whether it is the perfect blue color or the flower pots in back? Whatever it is, this is a must make project!
Free LapTop Cover Pattern - by Straight Hooked
Not only is there a full tutorial on how to crochet C2C but a free pattern for this cute laptop cover. I have already made one and my daughter already claimed it, so I need to make another one for me!
Free Nordic Crochet Super Scarf Pattern - by Make And Do Crew
Love the Nordic look to this scarf pattern and the extra long and chunky look to it is just too warm and comfy. I need this for our cold winters here in Idaho!
Free Southwest Sunburst Afghan - by 1 Dog Woof
This design just speaks to me, it has a southwestern charm to it but a modern look with the arrows that align the sides. I cannot think of any better color combination either! Give this a try today or Pin it for later.
