If you have been following me lately, you’d know that I love the Suzette stitch. I love the unique texture of this stitch, and the soft and dense fabric it creates, that’s why I also used it for this Hanging Basket.

So I decided to combine my love for this beautiful crochet stitch with my love for the corner to corner (C2C) method. And that’s how I came up with the Corner to corner crochet Suzette stitch pattern!

Scroll down for the written instructions and video tutorial!

I know that when you first hear the term ‘corner to corner’ or C2C, you initially think of the ‘traditional’ C2C stitch. But actually, there are more corner to corner variations using different stitches, such as the Wattle and Cluster stitches.

The C2C Suzette stitch is worked in a diagonal with the same method, you start from one corner, increasing both sides of the triangle, and when you reach the desired length you start decreasing on both sides, until reaching the other corner.

The corner to corner crochet Suzette stitch forms a square, but can also be worked to form a rectangle. The Rectangle version is available in the premium pdf pattern on Ravelry and Etsy.

What Projects Can You Make with the C2C Suzette Stitch?

Because of the dense, yet soft texture of the Suzette stitch, it’s a perfect stitch for so many projects. And the best part about the C2C technique, is that you don’t need to count stitches and make this long starting chain! 

• Blankets – no need to count your stitches, start increasing and decide the size as you go!
• Hot Pads
• Washcloths & dishcloths – great project for leftover yarn!
• Plant hanger! I used this stitch in my Suzette Double Hanging Basket

* [1sc, 1dc] count as a stitch
** Gauge is not crucial for this pattern

Notes

• The Suzette stitch is [1sc, 1dc] worked back and forth, while crocheting into the single crochet and skipping the double crochet. You can find the regular Suzette stitch tutorial HERE.
• To make it easier to find the ch3 / ch2 spaces at the end of the row, place a stitch marker when you ch3/ch2 at the beginning of each row.
• The pattern can be worked as a square or as a rectangle (the rectangle is available in the premium pdf pattern)

C2C Increase

Ch4
ROW 1: [1sc, 1dc] in 4th ch from hook, turn.

ROW 2: ch3-PM, skip 1st dc, [1sc, 1dc] in next sc, [1sc, 1dc] in ch-3, turn.

ROW 3: ch3-PM, skip 1st dc, [1sc, 1dc] in next sc.
Skip next dc, [1sc, 1dc] in next sc, [1sc, 1dc] in ch-3, turn.

ROW 4: ch3-PM, skip 1st dc, [1sc, 1dc] in next sc.
* skip next dc, [1sc, 1dc] in next sc; repeat from * to ch-3, [1sc, 1dc] in ch-3, turn.

Repeat row 4 until the side of the triangle measures 6.5in (16.5cm), or until your desired length.

C2C Decrease

When you reach the desired length, start decreasing:
** Place the stitch marker at the beginning of each ch2 so you can easily find it for the decrease stitch.

ROW 5: ch2-PM, skip next dc & sc, [1sc, 1dc] in next sc.
* skip next dc, [1sc, 1dc] in next sc; repeat from * to last sc, sc2tog in last sc & ch-3, turn.

ROW 6: ch2-PM, skip next sc2tog & dc, [1sc, 1dc] in next sc.
* skip next dc, [1sc, 1dc] in next sc; repeat from * to last sc, sc2tog in last sc & ch-2, turn.

Continue working row 6 until you have only 2 [1sc, 1dc] stitch in your row (total of 3 sts + ch), than work row 7.

ROW 7: ch1, skip next sc2tog & dc, sc2tog in last sc & ch-2.
Fasten off.
