I love working different crochet stitches from corner to corner. The C2C Moss stitch is one of my very favorite stitches, and my go-to stitch when I’m looking for a simple make. That’s why I decided to make this detailed photo tutorial and video tutorial.
In this tutorial, we will make a washcloth, but you can use it to make a blanket.
I’m sure you will enjoy working this stitch even if you are a beginner or an experienced crocheter. The C2C Moss stitch is a fun and easy stitch, which you can work mindlessly.

The crochet Moss stitch is super easy, it consists of alternating single crochet and chains, while the single crochet is worked into the chain space.
You will see how easy it is to work the C2C Moss stitch but following the tutorial I made: You start from one corner, increasing every row until you reach the desired length of your square, and then start decreasing until you reach the other corner.

How to Use This Tutorial to Make a C2C Moss Stitch Blanket
Making a blanket using the corner to corner Moss stitch is very simple.
By simply following the tutorial I made, after you start the increase, repeat the same increase row, until reaching the desired width of your blanket, then start decreasing.
The basic pattern creates a square-shaped blanket. You can also work the C2C Moss stitch as a rectangle, you can find the rectangle version in the Premium PDF pattern on Ravelry or Etsy.
The Yarn I Used to Make My Washcloth
Since releasing this post, I have had many questions about the yarn I used in the washcloth you see in my photos.
I used Alize Cotton Gold Plus Multi Color – color 52175, which is a Worsted (#4) weight yarn.
More great yarn options for this project will be:

what brand and color is the yarn. it is exquisite.
Hi Linda,
The yarn is Alize Cotton Gold Plus Multi Color – color 52175
I love this C2C pattern. I’m making blankets for twins, and chose yarns that are the same color family but different overall colors. I’m using moss stitch in a rectangle for the first blanket, but wanted something related, yet slightly different for the second. This C2C moss stitch will be perfect for the second one. With the pattern and having watched your presentation in the crochet blanket summit, I have no doubts this will turn out wonderfully. Thank you so much!
I’m so glad you enjoyed the presentation in the summit!
I love the idea of using the same stitch with different methods, I’m sure both blankets will turn out beautifully!
