Learn Corner to Corner Crochet with the Guest Throw

How to Crochet Corner to Corner Guest Throw with this free pattern from Red Heart Yarns by Marianne Forrestal. Learn how to use the corner 2 corner technique and crochet a super soft afghan that you can add to your guests room.

Corner to Corner Crochet:

In this video tutorial I will walk you through the Guest Throw C2C blanket and talk you through the first part of the border to get you on your way to finishing this fun blanket.

Grab your copy of the FREE Guest Throw C2C blanket over on the Red Heart website and then get started with me on the video tutorial.

The body of this blanket is easy enough for beginners but the border might take a little extra skill. With patience you can do this border. But if you find it just isn’t working out, try just a simple shell border or granny stitch border to make it simple and fun.

Side Note: this was the first time I have taught a border like this. Is it something you like? Were you able to see the stitches better and actually see the pattern they create by me showing you on the actual sample? I wanted to try something new so please be sure to let me know what you think.
