Lady Bug C2c Square

"Crochet a lady bug square using C2C (Corner to Corner) crochet technique! The chart for this pattern is found free below. After working up this square you can turn it into a pillow, or make several similar squares to make a blanket! Corner-to-Corner or C2C: You’ll be using hdc C2C crochet techniques to create the square. You’ll need to know how to do the hdc C2C crochet stitch, made from half double crochets, chains, and slip stitches. Click here for my blog post on this technique, which includes a video tutorial a well. The traditional C2C stitch consists of a ch 2 + 3 dc to form one C2C pixel, and each increase is ch 6 + 3 dc. To make my blanket a more manageable size, I used ch 2 and 3 hdc for each pixel, where each increase was ch 5 + 3 hdc. This design also includes color changes. You can do these by either carrying the colors, or by creating yarn bobbins that you join to the square as you need a different yarn color. "
