Scrap Happy Chunky Blanket – Corner To Corner (C2C) By Sara Sach

 Scrap Happy Chunky Blanket 

 Corner To Corner (C2C)

 By Sara Sach of Posh Pooch Designs

My Chihuahua Rosie had to go to the Dog Emergency

 room. She hurt her back jumping off the bed and 

also hurt her paw. She had to have a little surgery. 

I took her in her favorite blanket so she would feel more comfortable.  Well, She got nervous and had an 

accident on her blanket. It's Max's favorite, too.

 OOPS!

 We had to throw it out.

Old Favorite Blanket

That's okay Sweet Rosie, I will make you a new one.

So I got into my chunky yarn stash and began making

 them a new blanket. It is made using the C2C technique.

This stitch pattern several names.

 This method has  been called

 the "Crazy Stitch" And the "Diagonal Block Stitch",

as well as, other names. It is is commonly known as the 

"Corner To Corner or C2C Stitch" that we are using today.

New Favorite Blanket

The Blanket is a Square when completed. Although, 

I am making this for my dogs, it is not just for dogs. 

It's perfect for anywhere or for anyone who needs

 a blanket. And so you can make the square as

 large as needed.

It's Max and Rosie Approved!

Corner To Corner Scrap Afghans

Everyone is doing the C2C Afghans,

 I Love to make them.

They are perfect for using up 

all your left over yarns.

I Love how the pattern looks and 

the slanted stripes are fun.

My favorite pattern to use is the 

Corner To Corner Afghan 

By Red Heart Yarn

I have made several and almost 

always give them away.

Here is one of my latest ones

Shades of Blue and Brown

I Call it Americana

This is the one I am working on now.

This one I call Chaos.

And Yes, I almost 

always name my Afghans.

The pattern works up fast, 

and is the perfect project for when

 you are watching a movie or 

just want to keep busy.
