I’m sharing a free knitting pattern for corner to corner blanket pdf today that is full of texture, color and easy to knit!
This Corner To Corner Knit blanket was made over the long weekend and it comes together quickly. I have to say this is probably the fastest I have made a blanket- make sure to check out all of my previous knitting patterns for blankets and throws! If you are a beginner, start with here with my learn to knit post.
The corner to corner blanket an age-old pattern often called the Increase decrease pattern, C2C blanket, Diagonal knit blanket, or the Bias knit square blanket. You start at one corner and end at the opposite corner.
Materials Needed:
You will need a 32 inch long 8mm circular needle. The circular needle is simply to accommodate a large number of stitches. You can buy this entire set of knitting needles online it is inexpensive and I like that you get the whole set of needles at that price.
You will need 8 skeins of this Bernat Softee Chunky or any other similar bulky yarn. The colorway I chose for today’s free knitting pattern for corner to corner blanket pdf has a retro feel to it.
I use 5 colors of yarn for my blanket (white color not photographed below).
- 1 skein of the Teal
- 2 skeins of the Sea Green
- 2 skeins of the Natural
- 2 skeins of the Glowing Gold, and
- 1 skein of the baby pink.
That’s a total of 8 skeins to create the stripe pattern that I have. If you were to make this blanket in one solid color you would probably only need 5 or 6 skeins. I would say 6 skeins to be on the safer side.
HOW TO KNIT A CORNER TO CORNER BABY BLANKET:
I love sharing easy knitting ideas that are colorful yet easy to complete. Today’s free knitting pattern for corner to corner blanket pdf marries two of my favorite blankets- the garter stitch glanket with stockinette stitch blanket.
You start by casting on just 1 stitch. And then you increase a stitch in each and every row. I made each stripe of color to be 10 rows. A printable free knitting pattern for corner to corner blanket pdf can be found at the bottom of this post.
This is the perfect blanket to work on while watching TV! My happy place -Netflix, PJs, and knitting. Yup #knitflix is really a term I use.
At its widest, I had 126 stitches on my needle. Once you reach the middle of the blanket, you start decreasing a stitch on each and every row. The decrease rows create such beautifully neat corners!
While this is the fastest blanket I have knit, it doesn’t mean it is small in size. The finished blanket measures approximately 40 by 40 inches. And it is so much fun to watch the blanket grow stripe by stripe.
Somehow, the decrease rows seem to go faster and you will end up with lesser and lesser stitches on your needle.
When you have two stitches left, knit them together, and bind them off. Using a crochet hook to weave in all of the loose ends.
ALL DONE:
And my blanket is all done! This free knitting pattern for corner to corner blanket pdf took me about 6 days to knit, with busy schedules and everything thrown into the mixture. This would be the perfect project to carry along with you to a cabin or lazy summer vacation. It is simple to knit and quick to finish.
I love simple blankets that are colorful- choosing the color combinations for each project is my favorite part!
