Cherry C2C Crochet Square

I am so excited about this fun and fruity project I spent the weekend designing! It’s going to be a series of fruit themed Corner-to-Corner (C2C) Crochet squares that will all fit together in the end!

These C2C pieces are small and doable! They can be started and finished in a day or two. This cherry design happens to be in a 13 by 13 pixel square with a finished size of 9 x 9 inches, but not all the fruits will fit in the same pixel graph. They are close in size, but not exactly the same.

I am using Red Heart Super Saver Yarn for all the squares and the colors I have chosen will be repeating throughout all of them. I will have more updates on yarn (shhhh… there might be a deal coming your way!) in the next week.

But for now, let’s go ahead and get these cute cherries on your hook!

If you are new to the Corner-to-Corner (C2C) Crochet technique, let me explain a little bit about it. You can take a pixel graph and turn it into a crocheted piece. By starting in one corner of the graph (the lower right hand is most common place to start), you will crochet crochet diagonally in rows until you get to the other corner. One pixel square = a chain 2 + 3 HDC stitches. Please note that I am using HDC stitches for the C2C instead of DC
