Starshine C2C Blanket

Starshine C2C Blanket by Bronwyn Hahn

Project Overview

The Starshine C2C Blanket is a crocheted throw blanket designed by Bronwyn Hahn that combines celestial inspiration with accessible crochet technique. This intermediate-level project uses the corner-to-corner (C2C) method to create a finished blanket suitable for various relaxation settings, from outdoor stargazing to cozy indoor moments.

What Is Being Made

This pattern produces a complete blanket crafted through the corner-to-corner crochet technique. The finished piece is designed as a versatile throw that can be taken to parks for cloud gazing, outdoor spaces for meteor shower viewing, or used on the sofa for comfortable rest. The blanket's design is inspired by the concept of the North Star as a guiding force, reflecting themes of personal navigation and direction.

Crochet Techniques Used

Corner-to-Corner (C2C) Crochet: The Starshine Blanket employs the C2C technique as its primary construction method. This technique begins with a minimal foundation of only 6 chains, making it an approachable starting point for intermediate crocheters. The blanket is built progressively through a series of linked blocks constructed from double crochet stitches. Each row adds one block, allowing crafters to see tangible progress with every row completed. Once the project reaches the desired width, the decreasing corner is finished relatively quickly, providing a satisfying conclusion to the project.

Stitches Used

• Double Crochet: The primary stitch used to form the linked blocks throughout the blanket construction
• Chain Stitches: Used for the initial foundation of 6 chains and to create the structure within the C2C technique
