How to read a C2C crochet pattern

Working a pattern from a graph can seem daunting and time consuming but it’s one of my favourites.

Similar to intarsia crochet, most c2c patterns will include a combination of a graph and written instructions. Each square in a graph represents 1 c2c block. 1 block = ch-3 and 3 dc sts

Each project begins in the lower right hand corner of the graph. From there, you will increase by 1 block per row moving diagonally. You will continue in this way until the longest row(s) of the pattern is complete.

At this point, you’ll begin decreasing by 1 block per row until you’ve reached the final block in the lower left hand side of the graph.

The ‘x’ marks the row you are currently working on. I suggest printing out c2c crochet pattern graphs and marking off rows as you progress.

Row 1
↙ Row 1 [RS]: (C) (1 block)
Row 2
↗ Row 2 [WS]: (C) 2 times (2 blocks)
Row 3
↙ Row 3 [RS]: (C) 3 times (3 blocks)

You will continue this way until you reach the longest row i.e. Row 12. Row 13 marks the beginning of the decrease rows. Having trouble with changing colours? Read this post to find out how to change colours.

Row 13
↙ Row 13 [RS]: (A), (D) 3 times, (A) 2 times, (B) 3 times, (C) 2 times (11 blocks)
Row 14
↗ Row 14 [WS]: (B) 5 times, (A) 2 times, (D) 2 times, (A) (10 blocks)

Continue decreasing until the end of the graph. You now have a complete c2c crochet square! Add tassels and a string for hanging and you have yourself a neat little c2c crochet wall hanging!
