Row blocks

Corner to Corner (C2C) crochet is a technique that allows you to create a larger piece of fabric constructed of small blocks starting at one corner and then working to the opposite corner of the project (hence the name). C2C is a great way to create color patterns using a grid in rectangular projects such as afghans or blankets (also known as graphgans). What stitches do you need to know for C2C? C2C consists of double crochet stitches, chains, and slip stitches. You begin by creating a block of double crochet that will be the bottom right corner of your chart. Each row is read diagonally. You will increase the number of blocks with each row (Row 2 has 2 blocks, Row 3 has 3 blocks, etc.) until you reach the widest part of the project. Then you will continue working back and forth in diagonal rows decreasing the number of blocks each row until you reach the top left corner of the chart. How to work the double crochet C2C increase As you begin working from the corner, you will increase the number of blocks each row. Increase Row 1: Ch 6, DC in 4th ch from hook and in next 2 ch (1 block made). 1 block. Ch 6 DC in 4th ch from hook DC in next 2 ch. 1 block Increase Row 2: Ch 6, , DC in 4th ch from hook and in next 2 ch (1 block made), sk the next 3 DC, sl st into the top of the ch-3 Tch, ch 3, 3 DC into the same space (2nd block made). 2 blocks. Ch 6 DC in 4th ch from hook DC in next 2 ch Sk the next 3 DC Sl st into the top of the ch-3 Tch Ch 3

3 DC in the same space. 2 blocks Increase Row 3: Ch 6, DC in 4th ch from hook and in next 2 ch (1 block made), *sk next 3 DC, sl st into the top of the ch-3 Tch, ch 3, 3 DC into the same space (2nd block made), rep from *. 3 blocks. Ch 6 DC in 4th ch from hook DC in next 2 ch *Sk next 3 DC, sl st into the top of the ch-3 Tch Ch 3, 3 DC in the same space. Rep from * across Rep Row 3, increasing 1 block each Row. How to work the double crochet C2C decrease Once you reach the widest part of your project (from corner to corner), you’ll need to start decreasing the number of blocks in your project. Decrease Row 1: Ch 1, sl st in next 3 DC, sl st into ch-3 Tch, ch 3, 3 DC into the ch-3 Tch of prev row, continue creating blocks across the row, ending with a sl st in last ch-3 Tch. Ch 1 Sl st in next 3 DC Sl st into ch-3 Tch Continue creating blocks across the row Ending with a sl st in last ch-3 Tch How to read a C2C chart Unlike most crochet or stitch charts, the C2C chart is read diagonally. You can start reading the chart at any corner, but in terms of numbering, our chart begins in the right bottom corner. Row 1: Begin at the “1” on the bottom of the chart on the right side, and read the chart diagonally up toward the “1” on the right side. Work a block in the designated color. 1 block. Row 2: Begin at the “2” on the right side of the chart, and read the chart

Is to group together many more blocks than that to create special blocks.A row of four blocks can create a Rocket, which will clear a row either horizontally or vertically, a group of four will create a paper aeroplane, a group of five will create a bomb, and a row of five will create a Disco ball.When these special blocks are mixed together you can even activate more special abilities, such as a multi-row rockets by combining a rocket and a bomb, or exploding paper aeroplanes with the bomb and aeroplane combo. 3 Using rockets wisely Rockets can be the most useful special blocks in the whole game, if you know how to use them.More difficult stages will have you clearing out jelly or boxes, and you can use rockets to quickly wipe out an entire row.Keep in mind that you can slide the rocket onto the next row, and then it’ll set off only after it is in a new row. You can use this to cleverly position rockets and clear out plenty of objectives. 4 New carpet In some stages you might need to cover the background with carpet - this is awkward at first, but you’ll soon get used to it.Clearing blocks isn’t enough to create fresh carpet - at least one of the cleared blocks had to have been on carpet already. In these stages, it’s important to not clear random rows of three if they’re not touching carpet.Luckily, bombs, aeroplanes and rockets can all help spread carpet - but again, they must have to touch carpet first. 5 Changing Rooms If you’re not content with the decor you’re laying down for dear old mum and dad, you can actually change it at any time with just a few coins.Hold your finger over an object in
