I have been seeing more and more C2C (corner to corner) crochet graphgans and I decided it was finally time to make one of my own! I have never been a fan of creating blankets and just never seem to have the patience for them, so this type of blanket seemed more up to speed for me! Also, with my little twins on the way, I have extra motivation to create some baby blankets! I honestly wasn’t sure how, so I started looking up some videos, created my own graph, and I am glad that I did! I am sure there is an easy online way to create your own graph/chart to follow, but I decide to start with just drawling my own. Plus, I didn’t want to accidentally violate somebody’s copyright, by taking their picture.

Materials Used:
I used less than one ball of each color:
Red Heart Soft in Black
Red Heart Soft in White
Red Heart Soft in Teal
Red Heart Soft in Seafoam
Size H/5.0 mm Crochet Hook
Tapestry Needle
Scissors
Measuring Tape

Size: Mine ended up in a baby blanket size – approx 29″ long and 21.5″ wide.

Gauge: Gauge is not essential, but if you would like the blanket to turn out the same size as mine, I recommend matching mine below. You will need to create a square to measure.
With worsted weight yarn and ‘H’ hook: 6 squares by 6 squares is equal to 4″ X 4″ piece.
