9. Simple Corner to Corner C2C Scarf
While corner to corner crochet—commonly known as C2C—is typically used to create large diagonal blankets, you can easily adapt this wonderful technique to make a striking, uniquely constructed scarf. Instead of working in long horizontal rows from end to end, a C2C project starts at a single corner, expands outward in diagonal blocks of double crochet stitches and chain spaces, and then decreases back down to the opposite corner. This method creates a brilliant diagonal stripe effect if you use a self-striping or gradient cake yarn, adding instant artistic flair to your finished piece with zero extra effort. Working diagonally is immensely satisfying and offers a refreshing mental break from traditional row-by-row crafting. Because you are building the fabric in small, manageable blocks, it is easy to gauge your progress and decide exactly how wide and long you want your finished neckwear to be before you begin your decreases.
