Scroll down for the general instructions for c2c in hdc and tips for color changes!
How to crochet C2C Method with the hdc
If you have not tried it before, you can can learn how to crochet the C2C worked with the hdc with the help of my instructions below and the Video Tutorials included!
For the squares it is used the C2C with the half double crochet!
Row 1: Start with ch5. Work 1hdc in 3rd ch from hook and 1 hdc in each of next 2 ch. (The 2 skipped chains at beg of row will be a ch2sp). You made the First and only Box Stitch of row 1!
From now on, you’ll start increasing 1 box st in each row.Row 2: Turn your work, ch 5, turn, work 1 hdc in 3rd ch from hook and 1 hdc in each of next 2 ch. (1st. box st of the 2nd row made).
Turn your work, sk all 3 hdc of next box st, slst into ch2sp of that box st, ch2, work 3 hdc in same ch2sp. ( 2nd. Box st of the 2nd row made!)
Row 3: Turn your work, ch 5, turn, work 1 hdc in 3rd ch from hook and 1 hdc in each of next 2 ch. (1st. box st of the 3rd. row made)
Turn your work, *sk all 3 hdc of next box st and slst into the ch2sp at left of that box st, ch 2, work 3 hdc in same ch2sp.
(2nd. Box st of the 3rd row made); rep from * for the next box st (3rd. Box st of the 3rd row made).
Continue increasing 1 box st each row, working per color chart, or written instructions at the end of this post until you reach the corner (the middle of your square or rectangle). After that you’ll start decreasing on one side each row (working per color chart)
How to Decrease Corner to Corner (C2C) in Half Double Crochet
First Decrease Row (here Row 20):
Turn your work. Do not chain 5 anymore. sl st loosely into top of each hdc of the last box stitch made in the previous row, then slst into next ch2sp of last box st from previous row, ch 2, work 3 hdc into same ch2sp:
(First box st of decrease row made);*sk the 3 hdc of next box st and slst into the ch2sp at left of that box st, ch 2, work 3 hdc into same ch2sp, rep from * till you reach to the last box st of previous row.
Join with slst to ch2sp of last block st from previous round.
Next Decrease Rows : Decrease each row 1 box st as written above until you get to 1 box st by last row.
Tips regarding color changes in c2c and placing the yarn strands:
Work with bobbins or several small yarn balls. Only strand the yarns at the back over small sections and work over the small strands.
Bring the yarns:
- To the back of your work when working on the right side
- At front of your work when working on the left side;
Changing colors:
- On Right side of work
Before changing to new color:
work the last hdc of the last block stitch in old color just till before last yo,
Having 3 loops in old color on the hook, yo with new color yarn and finish the st with new color;
Tug the yarns tight and continue with new color; sl st to the next box st inserting the hook from back to front!
-
On Wrong Side of work :
When carrying the old color yarn over a small section from right to left, change the colors the same as written above for the right side of work;
same when you join new color yarn!
When you need to pick up new color yarn (already used in previous row) coming from left, finish the st in old color, then slst with new color through the ch2sp of next box st inserting the hook from back to front!
Tug the yarns tight and continue with new color.

Notes:
- Some colors of the Red Heart Super Saver yarn are thinner as other colors. For example Spring Green, Soft White, Light Blue, etc. This will cause some changes in the finished size of the squares. Even if I have designed each squares having 25 tiles x 25 tiles as the Lava Fox ( that measures 16 inches (40 cm)), some squares will end up a bit smaller. After you will sew them together they will equal out. That’s why I will reduce the overall size of the squares and make an avarage size of 14.5 inches/square.
- Some of the patterns require the colorway "Warm Brown". Meanwhile is this colorway from Red Heart Super Saver discontinued. I found an alternative! We could do some yarn deconstruction of the Red Heart Super Saver Stripes, Latte Stripe. There are some lovely colors; the brown red-ish tones would look great for some animals, such as the dear stag, squirrel, etc...
Hour many squares will there be in total?
ReplyDeleteHi Cecelia, I will publish 16, maybe 20 squares. You can make them all for a large blanket, or pick the ones you like the most and make a smaller blanket.
DeleteI counted 20. 🤪
DeleteIs a printable patter available
DeleteThese are gorgeous! Thanks for the patterns.
ReplyDeleteHi, you're very welcome! I'm glad you like them! Please enjoy! :)
DeleteThese are beautiful. I don't know how to do C2C but plan to try again because I really love the patterns. I'm left handed and most of the videos are for right handed people.
ReplyDeleteHi Gigi, I think that, as left handed, you would need to read the graph starting from the left bottom to top right.
DeleteThank you. I definitely will try it!
DeleteYou're welcome! Please let mew know about the results and share your left handed tips with our readers.
DeleteThat is exactly how I do c2c. Bottom left to top right.
DeleteI hear if you play the video in a mirror it will be showing it in left and placement. I only heard that from a video.
DeleteHi Kinga,
ReplyDeleteHave made many of your animal C2C patterns. Love them.
Do you have an Owl C2C pattern?
thank you
Hi Flo! That's awesome! I would love to see your animal squares! Would you please add your pictures to Ravelry pattern pages? Thank you very much! Kinga.
Deleteps: I don't have an owl yet. Maybe in the future.
Have done the Fox and wolf so far, thanks for making written pattern. So sure grandson will love animal blanket when done.
ReplyDeleteHi Gunjo! I'm glad that you enjoyed the patterns! Are you on Ravelry? Would you please add your pictures to Ravelry pattern pages? Thank you very much! Kinga.
DeleteI would like to print the written pattern and your chart. I am not very computer savvy to do this without some help. Please let me know how to do this. Thank you.
ReplyDeleteHi, you can right click on the chart and save it to you pc, then print it out. Same with the text. Or you can use the Print Friendly site.
DeleteWhat do you mean "print friendly site"?
DeleteThank-you for these patterns. My grandchildren will enjoy the afghan.
ReplyDeleteYou're very welcome! I would love to see a picture,if you'll try the patterns. Kinga
DeleteJust discovered your website. I can't wait to make these. Do you have an elephant, a moose, and a turtle? I will have to make all of them. How many do you have so far so I can print them out. These are really incredible!!!!!
ReplyDeleteHi, there are already 8 animal blocks published, link in the post above. An elephant will be also included.
ReplyDeleteCan you make a virginia opossum block? I love these!
ReplyDeleteHi, sorry an opossum is not in plan. But many other beautiful creatures.
DeleteI'm awestruck! Going to try my luck on these. I am easily distracted at looking at patterns n people's work n forget to hook! Wonderful patterns!
ReplyDeleteI'm glad you like them!Enjoy! :)
DeleteThank you so much for these lovely patterns. You are very talented and kind.
ReplyDeleteYou're very welcome! Please enjoy! :)

DeleteThank you for sharing your patterns. I love C2C! You get to see your progress so quickly!
ReplyDeleteYou're very welcome! I love C2C so much! :) I love "painting" with yarn. hihi
DeleteYou're very welcome!
ReplyDeleteThank u for your newsletter. Love your colors and want to try to make the zebra.
ReplyDeleteYou're very welcome! Please enjoy!
DeleteHello was wondering if you have any more of your c2c cal wildlife animals graphs and patterns ready to release. Above mentions 20 different squares. I have the 12 you have listed above and found your sassy bunny and woolly sheep/lamb. I ask because wanting to make it for my niece for her first baby and would love to do all the squares for the blanket and then she can use it as a play mat on the floor also.
ReplyDeleteHi Pamela, 9 squares will be more than enough for a play mat. The next squares will be released one/week the next weeks.
DeleteOh My Gosh! I am so excited! I love to crochet and your C2C has me going down a new path! Thank you so much for sharing your talent and passion! Have a happy and blessed day!
ReplyDeleteHi, You're very welcome! I'm so glad you like my C2C designs! Please enjoy!:)
DeleteTime to start putting them all together. What color and stitch?
ReplyDeleteI would go with with and sc around.
DeleteI love these!!! I've done them all and they're beautiful. I'm from South Africa and here the Big Five is very important. You already did the elephant and the lion - would it be possible to perhaps do the buffalo, leopard and rhino? (Just a suggestion). Thank you for these lovely patterns!!!
ReplyDeleteHi Carin,
DeleteI'm, sorry for the late reply! I'm not sure if there will be other African animals in this blanket. I thought to include some Australian too.
Thank you so much for these! My granddaughter will love her Christmas gift! I can barely wait for the rest of the blocks! This is such an awesome idea!
ReplyDeleteYou're very welcome! Please enjoy! :)
DeleteThank you so much for sharing these beautiful graph squares. I can’t wait to start them.
ReplyDeleteYou're very welcome!
DeleteYou have cured me of my fear of c2c. Thank you so much, although I think I'm slowly becoming an addict for c2c patterns. Your patterns and instructions are easy to follow and look amazing. You're very talented. Thanks a bunch
ReplyDeleteYou're very welcome! I'm so glad that you have learned how to c2c!
DeleteI love all the patterns. I always for forward to the next one. Thanks so much for sharing.
ReplyDeleteYou're very welcome!
DeleteI think this is going to be my next endeavor! Love the squares and my grandson will too!!
ReplyDeleteI'm so glad you like them! My kids love them! I hope your grandson will love them also! :)
DeleteI would love to finish the blankets for my great nephews... I was going to do 2 different blankets for the boys … did I miss the rest of the squares?? I see 1-15???
ReplyDeleteHi, there are 16 squares published already.
DeleteRegards,
Kinga
Hi Kinga, Have you published square 16 yet? I thought I got an email about it but can't find it now...wondering if I dreamed it! lol. Thank you!
ReplyDeleteHi Dena,
DeleteSquare 16 was published last week.
Regards,
Kinga
Love these patterns. Have completed 2 so far. Can you recommend a color substitution for red heart super saver teal and warm brown. I think that they are no longer available.
ReplyDeleteHi Darlene,
DeleteHave you tried buying them on Amazon? There are still available. It's where I bought them. I could not tell a substitute, because I only buy my yarns online. I have not seen the other colors in person, because where I live there are no Red Heart Yarns in local stores.
I don't see teal on Amazon, just Real Teal - is it the same color? I also am not finding warm brown. I looked on yarnspirations since Red Heart is one of their brands and they don't carry either of them so I'm thinking they are discontinued. I will try to use something close.
DeleteOkay, well I found Warm Brown on lovecrafts.com and teal on ACmoore.com. Wasn't crazy about the shipping fees but this is a gift for my son and his girlfriend and they are worth it!
DeleteI have used impeccable for most of this as it is readily available where I am and red heart selection is very limited
DeleteHi thank you for these gorgeous pictures I'm halfway through the fox at the moment when it comes to joining them do you recommend putting a border around them first
ReplyDeleteHi Fiona,
DeleteI'm still debating on the way I will join the squares. Maybe I will not put a border around the squares first before joining them. Maybe I will join them with an invisible join and make a surface crochet kind of border to delimit each square.
Thank you ever so much from the Netherlands for the stunning patterns. I have never tried C2C before but surely will now.
ReplyDeleteYou're very welcome!
DeleteAre there instructions that I may have missed on how to make these into a pillow? I have to have a raccoon pillow!!!
ReplyDeleteAre there instructions that I may have missed on how to make these into a pillow? I have to have a raccoon pillow!!!
ReplyDeleteHi!See the link in the post above. C2C Removable Pillow Case.
DeleteHi thank you so much for also including a written pattern it makes it so much easier for me to do your a gem x p.s do you write it all down yourself or is it the fiddle stitch program you use? Thanks again have only done the monkey at the min but love them all xx
ReplyDeleteHi will you be doing all 20 squares
ReplyDeleteThey are all really nice. I'm having one of each made into a blanket to use for camping.
Hi! Sure, I will make all 20! Just published today block 19! The Koala C2C Square!
DeleteI love these patterns. I have been doing them in the order they were posted. I am currently on the tree frog. Will you be posting the last 2 squares soon? I would like to have all 20 done before Christmas.
ReplyDeleteI love all of these patterns. I am working on the tree frog. I've done the other 16 previous ones. Will you be publishing the last two patterns soon? I would like to have all 20 done by Christmas.
ReplyDeleteI am currently working on the tree frog square. I have already done the 16 before it. I was just wondering if you are still going to publish numbers 19 and 20. I would like to get all 20 squares done before Christmas.
ReplyDeleteHi,the 19.th block was published today! Check out the Koala C2C Square, linked in the post above.
DeleteThank you for the 19th square. So hoping the 20th is ready soon! I'm making a blanket with all 20 squares for my son and his girlfriend and hope it can be a Christmas gift!
ReplyDeleteYou're very welcome! All 20 squares are already up! Next week I will post the way I join them! Check back :)
DeleteHi I love your patterns and I know my grandson will love it. Do you have instructions on how to put it together?
ReplyDeleteHi,
DeleteNext week I will post the way I join them! Check back the next days, please!:)
I love these and would like to try to finally learn c2c/graphgans - if I wanted to make 1 big blanket of one of these (instead of all the little ones), is there a way to translate/enlarge it? I'm completely unfamiliar with this method yet, so I'm curious.
ReplyDeleteWhat is your system for creating these patterns? I have to make a blanket with specific animals, and although some of yours are perfect, I also need a buffalo, eagle, and beaver. I would love to make them in the same style. Can you advise me? Thanks!!
ReplyDeleteI'm "pixel painting/drawing" each of my animals from scratch.
DeleteI think I found I’m a steak in the polar bear pattern. On row 24 it should be one white instead of to White.
ReplyDeleteHi Kathryn! You are right! Sorry for the typo! It should have been white instead aran!
DeleteKinga
The border link appears to be broken :(
ReplyDeleteThank you for letting me know! I have updated the link. Please try again. It should work now!
DeleteThese patterns are adorable and thank you for sharing. I have been able to save all but the McCaw to my computer for printing out later. For some reason, the McCaw will not save nor print. Any suggestions?
ReplyDeleteThank you again.
Sorry, I don't know what McCaw is. You can use Print Friendly to print out. You can also save the graph as image, then print it out.
DeleteHello, I love your C2C patterns and there are a couple from your "Wildlife" series that I would love to make into lapgans. Is it possible to convert one square into a whole afgan?
ReplyDeleteSure, but you would need to rethink the graph pattern.
DeleteWhere can I find the graph?
ReplyDeleteSee the links in the post, each animal has each own pattern page.
DeleteI love this! Thank you for the patterns and all the great tips for joining the squares. My kids are animal crazy so I'm going to have to make two! :)
ReplyDeleteYou're very welcome Jo! Please let me know about your results! I would love to see your blankets, if you will make them. :)
DeleteHi I’m wondering for the panda lee did you use the shading for it or is the photo the one without the shading?
ReplyDeleteThanks
Yes, I have used the shading, but it is hard to see. You can use the plain white, it will not affect much.
DeleteHello, nice to meet you.
ReplyDeleteThank you for the wonderful pattern!
I want to challenge C2C in the summer of 2020.
I'm looking forward to it!
You're welcome! Please enjoy! :)
DeleteUmmm I’m wondering is all the squares going to be the same size or will it change cuz of the yarn thickness?
ReplyDeleteThanks
They will end up just slightly different sizes, but once you join them together, it will all even out.
DeleteOk! Thank you for responding I was so worried because it wasn’t the same size
DeleteHello,
DeleteWill the back of all the squares look a little funky? I’m wondering because mine looks a little different than the front ESPECIALLY the Siberian tiger
If you are working with bobbins/small yarn balls and are not carrying the yarn over to many spots, the back will look almost as good as the front, after weaving in the ends.
DeleteI love your animals. I am wondering where I can find a printable pattern. Is there a pdf available?
ReplyDeleteHi, I don’t offer free pdf’s for my patterns. Nor paid. You would need to highlight the text, copy and paste it into a file on your pc. For the graph images, mouse right click, "Save Image". Once they are saved, you can print them out. Or you can use the Print Friendly site. I hope this helps! :)
DeleteKinga
This is amazing. Thank you
ReplyDeleteYou're welcome! Please enjoy! :)
DeleteYou say some of the colour are thinner yarn, would that alter the pattern, should I be seeking the correct colour from another make inorder that they are the same level thickiness and how would I know what thickiness they should be, should that be based on the 1st colour?
ReplyDeleteHi, it's the way Red Heart Super Saver is. In the end they will even out once the blocks are joined together.
DeleteHi Kinga, Weren't there a sassy bunny and woolly sheep squares too?
ReplyDeleteYour work is amazing I am doing some of the blocks for my godchild.
Hi,I do have the sassy bunny and wooly sheep patterns, but they are not included into Wildlife theme.:)
DeleteIt is beautiful! Would love to see an Otter pattern since we live in Otter Tail County.
ReplyDeleteThank you! I will see what I can do! :)
DeleteWow an otter yes that would be great!
DeleteHi thank you for the extra animals do you know how many there will be in total please
ReplyDeleteHi Fiona, There are 29 animal blocks at the time. Maybe there will be one more. ...This year.
DeleteSome of the patterns say to use Warm Brown, but that color is discontinued. What color would you suggest using instead?
ReplyDeleteHi, I have updated my post above. Because meanwhile Warm Brown is discontinued, I found an alternative! You could do some yarn deconstruction of the Red Heart Super Saver Stripes, Latte Stripe. There are some lovely colors; the brown red-ish tones would look great for some animals, such as the dear stag, squirrel, etc...
DeleteHi. I see your updated post about the Warm brown and the Latte Stripe. When you marked the color names after you deconstructed it, I don't see a warm brown. Which one of those would be more like the warm brown?
DeleteHi Kinga, I absolutely love your patterns and thank you ever so much for sharing them. I am in the process of making the blanket and I was wondering if you could perhaps come up with a hedgehog and otter patterns, please? Thanks, Vicky x
ReplyDeleteHi Vicky! Thank you for the suggestions! I can promise, but maybe some day in the future I will create them.
DeleteHi Kinga,
ReplyDeleteYou have a gift my friend and with your generosity you are blessing so many people and inspiring not only the hookers (crocheters) but the person receiving this amazing wildlife graphgan cal too. It is traveling around the world in particular from South Africa to the Middle East.
I sent you a graph of a rhino I made(it took me ages to get propotions correctly - this is not a joke I have much respect for your work it is not easy) in stitch fiddle. Would it be possible for you to help me with a written pattern for the rhino? I needed it to complete the South African Big 5. You are welcome to included with yours (happy to contribute to you showing my gratitude and appreciation for you) Many thanks and happy new year! Lots of love Elsje Watkins my email elsjewatkins@gmail.com
Hi Elsje! Would you be willing to share/sell your rhino graph? I work at a zoo, we have a baby black rhino, my co-worker just announced she is pregnant, and I would love to include a rhino, along with the other species we have from this collection, in her baby's blanket! jenniferhorvatin19@gmail.com
DeleteHello Kinga, I love all the animals you made, thank you very much for sharing. I was wondering if the set is now complete, or if you were planning to add any more animals in 2021?
ReplyDeleteI might add some animals, but not sure when. At the time I'm having other plans...baby stuff and video tutorials.
DeleteI so wish I could do this but I'm a visual learner so would need a video tutorial of each block. There's so many great patterns that us visual learners get left out of because we can't read patterns. I've tried doing this several times, but still can't get the hang of it. Maybe one day someone will post videos for these so us visual learners can enjoy making them too.
ReplyDeleteI don't have a video for each square, but the 2 video tutorials featured here on this page should be a great help.
DeleteThank you for these wonderful patterns! I've made all 29 available. I hope you come out with one more. I'd love a rabbit, tortoise or ostrich. A wild stallion would be beautiful. Or a platypus! Not sure if you need ideas ;)
ReplyDeleteHi Laura, at the time I'm working on some other projects...not sure if/when there will be other animals added.
DeleteI would like to add those as well (slowely). Happy to share, if I figured out how... : )
DeleteThank you for this beautiful blanket. How much yarn was used for the blanket as a whole? I don't know how much yarn I should buy.
ReplyDeleteShould I add up the yardage mentioned for each square or you can give an approximate amount? Thank you
Hi, I can't tell you how much yarn you would need. It depends of your color choices and how many blocks you are using.
DeleteHi, many thanks for the patterns! Would be great if there would be more tiles to come. Are you planning to make more? (I tried myself on an Elk, happy to share. How best to send it to you?)
ReplyDeleteHi Anne! I'm so sorry for such a late reply. I have not seen your comment before. If you like, you can send it to me at this email: kinga at myhobbyiscrochet dot com
DeleteThank you! :)
Kinga
How does one get a written form to do a video ?
ReplyDeleteHi Julia! As per my copyrights, I'm the only one entitled to make video tutorials for my own designs. Thank you for understanding! Kinga
DeleteLoved doing this. I made a blanket for my grandson. I am sort of sorry that the project is done. The first one was difficult because of the C2C technique , which was new to me, but as I got the hang of it, it went on smoothly. I get complimented, but is really the effort of the original creator. Thank uou!!
ReplyDeleteYou're very welcome! I'm so glad you enjoyed it!
DeleteYou're very welcome! I'm so glad you enjoyed it!
DeleteA very big Thank You for sharing your incredible talent. The animal afghan blocks are just amazing!
ReplyDeleteYou're very welcome! I'm glad you like my animal designs! :)
DeleteHi, am attempting to make the monkey square and I am using a 5.5 hook and redheart yarn bu my square seems to end up being 24x24, do you have any suggestions on what I might be doing wrong?
ReplyDeleteHi, maybe you are using the c2c with the double crochet stitch? I'm using the c2c with the half double crochet stitch c2c patterns.
DeleteI have to thank you for providing us all with these beautiful patterns. I crochet for Project Linus and from the feedback I get, kids go crazy for these animal blankets. I've made about 8 of them, they take a lot of time and PATIENCE. I'm anxious to watch your video to help me keep my yarns from getting tangled! I've always done my blocks with 6 stitches and double crochet. I love that you've done 5 stitches and half double crochet. Can't wait to try it!
ReplyDeleteYou're very welcome! My kids love animals and they were my inspirations to design these animals blocks. :) I don't have myself a video tutorial about working with yarn bobbins, but you can find some from others on YouTube. I would love to hear from you if you give the patterns a try. Cheers! Kinga
DeleteThank you so much for making these patterns available. I can’t crochet, but I can knit and your animals have made great additions to a knitted animal squares blanket I am making. 45 squares, but your ones are definitely the best! If you wanted to look at how they look knitted I’ve put a picture of the ongoing project on instagram JXLodge64. Thanks again!
ReplyDeleteHi! I saw your beautiful blanket on Instagram! Well done! I'm very glad you enjoyed my patterns! Kinga
DeleteI enjoy the information you present he?e and can’t w?it to take a look when I get home.
ReplyDeleteI made it with 20 squares and my toddler love it! Where can i post a picture?
ReplyDeleteThat's awesome! You can send me a picture at this email address:
Deletekinga at myhobbyiscrochet dot com
Hello, I love these. I am struggling with the elephant a bit because I'm not certain how to change colors right at the edge where I also have to decrease.
ReplyDeleteA moose would be a neat addition to this I think!
