Free corner to corner crochet written instructions give you the block-by-block steps in plain text, useful if you prefer working from words rather than a graph chart. I still keep a written version on hand even for charted projects, since it doubles as a backup if I lose my place. This guide gives the core written steps.
Written Instructions
- Chain 6. Dc in the 4th chain from the hook, then dc in each of the next 2 chains. Block 1 complete.
- Chain 6, turn. Sl st into the top chain of block 1, chain 3, 3 dc into the same space. Block 2 complete.
- Repeat the chain-6-and-block pattern to keep increasing one block per row.
- To decrease, sl st across the top 3 stitches of the last block, chain 3, 3 dc into the next block’s space, skipping the increase chain entirely.
Frequently asked questions
Can I follow a graphghan chart using only written C2C steps?
Yes, the written block instructions above apply regardless of the specific chart, since you are simply following the chart’s colors while using this same block technique for every stitch.
