It’s happening! I’m happy to announce the 2025 House Blanket C2C (corner-to-corner) Crochet Along! I was hesitant to start another year long CAL but I came up with a perfect solution to the issues I was having (more on that below) and I was itching to get another C2C project on my hook!
Each month in 2025, I will be posting a House themed corner-to-corner crochet square. The idea for these designs is actually a offshoot of my House Blanket Series. I’ve been wanting to continue the house designs and I think having all of the different house squares stitched together will make a stunning blanket at the end of the year.
If you aren’t familiar with my House Blankets, I made the Winter Cabin blanket about 2 years ago. It started with a C2C Square and then with the addition of a large border, it become a wonderful cozy winter blanket. I then made the Gingerbread House Blanket for Christmas and a Haunted House Blanket for Halloween! In addition, I have the square made for my Barn Blanket.
So that means 4 OF THE SQUARES ARE ALREADY POSTED! Yep! You can get a head start on the squares for January, April, October, and December. I will be reposting these squares during their allotted months (possibly with color adjustments depending on what yarn I have on hand), but since the pixel graphs are available, you can absolutely get started on them.
Winter Cabin (January Square)
Barn (April Square)
Haunted House (October Square)
Gingerbread House (December Square)
The other months are blurred out and will be posted around the 1st of each month. Although I am sure you can make some good guesses as to what they will be! I love being able to change the houses to reflect the seasons and holidays! It will be 12 months of happy homes.
Ok let’s get back to why I was so hesitant to do another CAL. After doing these for a few years now (2022 Gnome Blanket, 2023 Animal Square CAL, and the 2024 Under the Sea CAL) I noticed that my motivation seems to dwindle after about 3 months. I’m always rushing to get the designs done on the last few days of the month which in many instances are holidays, family birthdays, or other crochet deadlines for my partnership with Yarnspirations. And as much as I love Christmastime, the holidays are busy and can be stressful. Finishing the entire blanket during that time of year pretty much sends me into a frenzy. 2025 will be different! As I mentioned above, January, April, October, and December squares are already DONE! So the busy months are taken care of. I’ve also pre-made all of the pixel graphs so that part of the design process is finished as well!
I will be using Red Heart Super Saver yarn for the entire project. I do not have colors picked out yet. I need to restock my blue yarn after the Under the Sea CAL depleted my stash. But beyond that, I will be using colors I have on hand. I will post the colors I use each month along with the pixel graphs.
Each square starts with a 25×25 pixel graph. I use the corner-to-corner technique to crochet the square and the finished size of the crocheted squares are approximately 17 x 17 inches.
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.

Be sure to share your house squares on social media using the hashtag #2025HouseBlanket
I am really excited to work on this project throughout the year with you! By the end of the year we will all have a cozy blanket of home sweet homes that you can gift or cuddle up with.
This page will serve as the Landing Page for this House Blanket CAL and I will update it each month with links to the new squares.
