C2C, short for “corner-to-corner” is one of the crochet techniques that is beginner friendly. I highly recommend this technique to be tried out by the beginners as it is easy to follow, yet producing a beautiful piece of crochet product.
C2C allows crocheter to crochet pixelated images, which can be used in both small and large sizes of project such as dishcloth, scarves and blankets, making it has versatile usage. C2C techniques create a textured fabric naturally with a diagonal slant, which adds visual interest and enhance overall design.

Due to its diagonal construction, C2C crochet typically works up faster compared to traditional row-by-row crochet. This is because each row becomes shorter as you progress, reducing the number of stitches required in each subsequent row.
This can speed up your project completion while producing a beautiful crochet work! No longer boring traditional row-by-row crochet.
