This crochet puzzle blanket uses the corner-to-corner (C2C) technique to create a colorful jigsaw puzzle design. You’ll work diagonally across the blanket, following the written color instructions and the crochet graph to create each puzzle piece.

The finished blanket measures approximately 30 × 30 inches, but you can adapt the design to make a larger or smaller blanket by adjusting the graph and the number of C2C pixels.

Helpful Tip: When working on this C2C puzzle blanket, I recommend keeping your different yarn colors organized to prevent tangling. You can use separate yarn bobbins or small balls of yarn for the different sections of the puzzle design. Remember to check your crochet graph regularly as you work through the rows, especially when changing colors.

Frequently Asked Questions About the Crochet Puzzle Blanket

Is this C2C puzzle blanket suitable for beginners?

This crochet puzzle blanket is a great project if you already know the basics of corner-to-corner crochet and want to practice changing colors.

The design is relatively simple compared to more intricate C2C crochet patterns, making it a good choice for adventurous beginners. I’ve also included a video tutorial to help you learn the C2C technique.

What yarn is best for a crochet puzzle blanket?

I used WeCrochet Brava worsted-weight yarn in five colors: Grass, Celestial, Canary, Red, and White.

Worsted-weight yarn works well for this project because it creates a cozy blanket with clearly defined C2C stitches. You can also choose your own color combination to make the puzzle pieces unique.

How big is the finished crochet puzzle blanket?

The finished blanket measures approximately 30 × 30 inches. This makes it a lovely size for a baby blanket or a play mat for a little one.

If you’d like a larger blanket, you can adjust the graph or use a different yarn and hook size. Just remember that changing your materials will affect the finished measurements and yarn requirements.

That way you will find it easily again when you need it and you also provide the world and your friends with the ability to gain extra crochet knowledge as well. And to top it off, you help me as it allows me to create more content that you love already and want to see more of – free crochet patterns and tutorials. So, thank you for sharing.

If you love my crochet patterns and the way I teach, I would suggest subscribing to my newsletter below as I share new patterns, tutorials, and special announcements often.

How do I change colors in a C2C crochet blanket?

When crocheting a C2C blanket with multiple colors, you’ll need to change yarn colors as you work through the graph.

I recommend using small yarn bobbins to keep your colors organized and make it easier to switch between different puzzle pieces.

If you’re new to color changes in C2C crochet, take a look at my color-changing tutorial before starting the blanket.

Can I use different colors for the crochet puzzle pieces?

Absolutely! One of the best things about this crochet puzzle blanket is how easy it is to customize the colors.

You can use bright primary colors for a playful baby blanket, choose soft pastels for a nursery, or create a completely different color combination to match your home decor.
