    This is a free crochet along pattern for creating the Alphabet & Numbers C2C Blanket. You can find the complete pattern below. I have included photos and a video tutorial too.


    The toddler stood over the alphabet blanket. Proudly, he proclaimed “A! B! C!…” It was obvious that he was only reciting the alphabet from memory rather than actually reading anything as he was clearly pointing to the wrong letters.

    Yet, it was a delight to watch him learn and grow. One day, he would be able to read the C2C letter patterns on the alphabet crochet blanket.

    Well, now that we are heading into the Fall and Craft Season, I feel like it’s the perfect time to crochet a C2C blanket that you might give someone as a gift.

    It’s the perfect gift for a preschooler who is trying to learn the alphabet, or a preschool teacher for her classroom.

    It’s been so long since I hosted an amazing Crochet Along. I believe my last one was the Bobble Basketweave Bag. Oh, that was a fun one and also super popular. Even though the crochet along is over you can still get the pattern for free!

    The pattern was released in 7 parts – row by row. So you can make the C2C blanket in parts. It makes it easier to work on each part, no matter where you are. In the end, you’ll sew the parts together using the mattress stitch and add a beautiful Candy Cane Border.

    So you will have 1 week to get all your materials together before we start.

    Part 1: A through d – released below

    How to Crochet C2C Blanket with Alphabet & Numbers

    Instructions:

    The crochet alphabet blanket is made in 7 strips – each line of letters/numbers is made separately. Once finished the blanket pieces are blocked and steamed and sewn together using the mattress stitch. Lastly, a candy cane border is added.

    If you never tried to crochet corner to corner (C2C) before, use this beginner photo tutorial with video HERE. And if you need to learn how to change colors in C2C, click HERE.

    This pattern was made with HDC STITCHES for the Corner to Corner Blanket. Here is an hdc tutorial.

    Crochet each strip of letters/numbers separately. All white pixels are aran/white.

    Alphabet Letters

    Letters A through d are made with Hot Red.

    The ad-free pdf has a printer-friendly larger version of this graph.
    I wished I could make it bigger on my website, but it doesn’t work. Sorry

    To make it a bit easier, here is the picture “chopped” up. Hope it’s easier the read now. But again, I would suggest getting the pdf.

    Thanks to an awesome crocheter we now have the above graph A through d written out for the crochet alphabet blanket. For the “yellow lines” read from left to right (some words are broken up). All rows are diagonal rows.
    To understand it better, here is an example: Row 12 says to do 9 white pixels, 1 red pixel, and 2 white pixels.

    Letters E through I, use Cherry Red

    Fasten off and weave in your ends. Your crochet alphabet blanket is nearly finished.

    Block the pieces using a steamer and blocking boards (foam is best for these strips). If you need a tutorial, I linked it in the stitch list.

    Once you have blocked all your pieces, sew them together using the mattress stitch.

    The Border

    Now crochet 1 row of single crochets all around the blanket (crochet 2 sc’s per pixel and 2 sc per corner). It should create a stitch count of a multiple of 4 in the end.

    Finally, add the Candy Cane border using the colors hot red and black by skipping a stitch between each color. In the corners, crochet both colors in 1 stitch.

    Fasten off and weave in your ends.
