C2C Square

I have noticed C2C (corner to corner) blankets have become very popular at the moment.  I wrote the instructions for a workshop and have decided to share them with you.  The extra pictures of work in progress is a blanket being worked from the instructions by my daughter, Louise.

C2C is very easy to learn and grows quickly if you like granny squares this is even easier.

I have also made a blanket based on this square which I called... Coral Blanket
