1. What is C2C Crochet?

Corner-to-corner (C2C) crochet is a technique where you work diagonally from one corner of a project to the opposite corner, creating small squares or "pixels" that form the overall design. This method is popular for making blankets, afghans, and graphghans.

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator uses the C2C blanket size formula:

\[ Number\ of\ Squares = (Desired\ Width / Square\ Width) \times (Desired\ Height / Square\ Height) \]

Where:

\( Desired\ Width \) — The final width you want your blanket to be (mm)
\( Square\ Width \) — The width of one individual square (mm)
\( Desired\ Height \) — The final height you want your blanket to be (mm)
\( Square\ Height \) — The height of one individual square (mm)

Explanation: This formula calculates how many squares you'll need in both width and height dimensions, then multiplies them to get the total number of squares required.

3. Importance of Proper Sizing

Details: Calculating the correct number of squares ensures your finished blanket will be the exact size you want. This is especially important for C2C projects where each square represents a pixel in a design pattern.

4. Using the Calculator

Tips: Measure your square dimensions carefully by making a small swatch first. Enter all measurements in millimeters for the most accurate results. All values must be greater than zero.

5. Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: How do I measure my square size accurately?
A: Create a sample of at least 5x5 squares using your chosen yarn and hook. Measure the width and height of the central 3 squares and divide by 3 to get an average square size.

Q2: Should I add extra squares for borders?
A: If you plan to add a border, you may want to reduce the main blanket size slightly or calculate the border separately and add those squares to your total count.

Q3: How does yarn weight affect square size?
A: Thicker yarn and larger hooks create larger squares, while thinner yarn and smaller hooks create smaller squares. Always make a gauge swatch with your specific materials.

Q4: Can I use this calculator for rectangular blankets?
A: Yes, the calculator works for both square and rectangular blankets. Just enter different values for desired width and height if needed.

Q5: What if my squares aren't perfectly square?
A: If your squares are rectangular rather than square, be sure to measure both the width and height dimensions separately for the most accurate calculation.
