Pizza Slice C2C Crochet Graphgan Pattern

What Is Being Made

The Pizza Slice C2C Graphgan is a corner-to-corner crochet blanket or throw featuring a playful pizza slice design. This downloadable pattern from Creating Works Of Love offers a fun, food-themed graphgan project perfect for adding whimsical décor to any space. The finished piece measures 100 by 75 squares, creating a substantial blanket-sized project suitable for display or everyday use.

Crochet Technique: Corner-to-Corner (C2C)

This pattern uses the corner-to-corner (C2C) crochet technique, a popular method for creating graphgans and pixel-art style blankets. The C2C method involves building the blanket diagonally from one corner to the opposite corner, working in small blocks that follow a color chart or graph. This technique is ideal for translating graphical designs into crochet and allows crafters to follow a pixel-by-pixel pattern grid.

The C2C approach offers several advantages: it creates a structured, organized building process; it makes it easy to follow color changes using a chart; and it produces a finished blanket with clean, defined color blocks. The graphgan format of this pattern provides a visual grid showing exactly where each color should be placed, making it accessible even for beginners.

Stitches and Construction

The C2C technique primarily uses double crochet stitches worked in small blocks or clusters. Crafters build the blanket by creating blocks of color that correspond to the graphgan chart, with each square on the chart representing one block in the finished piece. The diagonal construction method means you'll be increasing and decreasing strategically to shape the blanket as you progress from corner to corner.

Yarn and Materials

This pattern is compatible with multiple yarn weights, offering flexibility for different project preferences and timelines:

• DK weight yarn – creates a lighter, more delicate finished blanket
• Sport weight yarn – offers a medium-weight option with good drape
• Worsted weight yarn – produces a thicker, warmer, faster-to-complete blanket

You will need an appropriately sized crochet hook to match your chosen yarn weight. The pattern includes a comprehensive graphgan chart showing the 100 by 75 square grid, allowing you to select and organize your yarn colors before beginning.

Difficulty Level

Rated as a beginner-friendly project, the Pizza Slice C2C Graphgan is accessible to crocheters new to the C2C technique. The straightforward stitch work combined with a clear visual chart makes it an excellent introduction to graphgan construction. Beginners will appreciate the step-by-step grid guidance that removes guesswork from color placement.
