How To Design Corner to Corner Graphs (C2C )

[@PlayHookywithMe]

Hi everyone! I was recently asked to share how to make a corner to corner (c2c) graph and specifically how I use my Ipad to do it. So, here is a video with my process as well as the basics on how to easily measure to create your own c2c patterns. I am not sponsored by anyone mentioned in the video, this is just my method for personal use. I would love to know your process too if you enjoy making graphs!

Thank you for this lovely tutorial! I just wanted to share that in procreate, if you go to the top left set of icons and select canvas, then select "drawing assist" you can instantly create the graph. No need to worry about lifting you ipen. And you can customize the size of the graph and the thickness of your lines.

QUESTION: I’m new to this type of crochet. I have been playing with it but I’m wanting to do afghan size type blanket. The picture I’m using is Deadpool on an 8x10 copy paper. It’s for my son and I hope to get it done by Christmas. How do I accomplish this from an 8x10 size? Would I just do my squares bigger? Thx for any help.

[@PlayHookywithMe]

You wouldn’t necessarily have to make your squares bigger. Your main goal is to convert that 8x10 image into the size you want your blanket to be. Then follow the steps I shared in the beginning for measuring your blocks. To make it easier, I would say the average size of each block is 1 inch and then do the math from there. You can probably take that image you have, scan it and upload it into stitch fiddle and bypass the whole procreate portion. Or if you can find the same image online and save that to upload into stitch fiddle to pixelate it would be even easier. 💕

[@wendyellis7440]

Hi hun im new to c2c crocheting so how can i make this my blanket sizeto a lap babyblanket so like for granny sqaures of 24 sorry for dumb questions but idont have any idea at all hope you can help me xx

[@PlayHookywithMe]

I’m not clear on what you’re asking. You want to do granny squares instead of C2C ? Or are you wanting to resize something to a lap/baby blanket size?

[@emilyclarkson-mallia2633]

Hi what tablet and what app do you use to have graphs on and tick the boxes off as you go please?

[@PlayHookywithMe]

That’s what this whole video was about 😆 did you watch it? Procreate and stitch fiddle . Or are you asking about a product not mentioned in this video that’s being used elsewhere?

[@ariellayman3942]

Love the video but i use samsung and it doesnt have this app is there any other apps that are like this because i keep looking for one but as soon as i want to graph it tells me i have to pay for app is there any free apps i can use for my phone

[@PlayHookywithMe]

Search under "pixel grids" for a phone app. I think there is one called "my row counter". I'm not sure if it is free but that is the only one that comes to mind. Maybe canva has a function that you could try.

[@diamondpatrick790]

Hello, thank you for this tutorial! I feel more confident I can try this after watching! :) I’m wondering what kind of swatch is that, or what kind of stitch did you use to create it?

Hi, I’ve been looking at different programs trying to find one that I can insert a pattern I have to create a graph so I can commence my baby blanket I’m making. Do thanks for highlighting these two programs. I have been told of another couple of programs and one is by Knitpro the other I’m not too sure I think it was Grid or something along those lines. Thanks and blessings 🙏🏽🧶😊

[@PlayHookywithMe]

Oh great! 👏🏻 I’ve heard good things about knitpro but I think you have to pay for that one - not sure .

[@sholayork9936]

This is a wonderful and helpful video. I do have one question, what if your sizing isn’t matching up? For example, I keep getting a 19.82” X 18”. It’s seems no matter what I do it won’t get close to an 18”X18”. Does it matter if they don’t completely match up, or will it mess up my entire piece?

[@PlayHookywithMe]

where are you starting with the measurement? In procreate or stitchfiddle? It sounds like you are going to have to crop the original image to make sure you get an accurate measurement regardless. I would work on that before you move forward with the design.

[@sholayork9936]

Did you draw the image yourself or did you happen to work from a picture from the internet? If you’ve done both, which one do you think is easier?

[@charleneloke3382]

Hi, are you using classic version or modern version c2c for the measuring and sizing part?

[@PlayHookywithMe]

Classic

[@sharonmahoney2893]

I really enjoyed your video. I have a question; are you using Procreate to import your picture & set sizing & then into Stitch Fiddle to convert into a graph fan & back to Procreate to edit colors & create layer to work from as you do project. Just trying to figure out the “purpose” of using 2 apps. Is Stitch Fiddle not capable of doing the whole process? 🤔

[@PlayHookywithMe]

Good question. I’m using procreate first to design the graphic and then importing to stitch fiddle to create the graph. I am not thrilled with the graphing options in procreate. I only have the free version of stitch fiddle so I’m not sure if you can design intricately on that platform. But absolutely, that would save a step. You’ll have to let me know if that works. Always great to learn a more streamlined process. 💕

can this be stitched all around for a baby blanket

[@PlayHookywithMe]

No, it’s not big enough , unfortunately

[@virginiaroberts4921]

chrochet crowd said I could but I dont know what stitch to use

[@PlayHookywithMe]

@@virginiaroberts4921 I’m not really understanding your question then. The square you see here in the demonstration is not big enough for a baby blanket. You would have to take the image and reformat it with more squares . You can do that for free on stitch fiddle like I showed you. But you need to clarify “stitched all around” because that sounds like you’re asking about a border. There are several stitches you could use : My 5 Favorite Borders That Work For Almost Any Project 🤩 kzbin.info/www/bejne/gKTOeYVml52be6c

[@virginiaroberts4921]

what my question is can this fox be the middle of a baby crib blanket if I were to chrochet all around it and make it big and what stitch looks even close to the same stitches used for the fox

[@PlayHookywithMe]

@@virginiaroberts4921 Ahhh , got it , that’s more clear . I would recommend doing the box stitch in the round , a typical granny square in the round or a modern granny square in the round . You can find all three tutorials on my channel. I think these will work well because they all use double crochets grouped in 3’s and can easily be manipulated by adding corners and sides in the amounts you need 👍🏻

[@singlencrocheting]

I make beanie hats, how can I implement this since I make it in the rounds not flat. What sizing do I use? By the way wonderful video, ty.

[@PlayHookywithMe]

I would recommend that you look at other graphs that are created for projects in the round and then use a similar format . Usually the graph in the round is more of a rectangular shape and you would just continue to follow it from right to left, instead of diagonal. The design of the graph wouldn’t change though so this tutorial should still help for creating the design itself. Your size of the graph will depend on the circumference of your beanie. You would take that measurement and then use that for your graph.

[@singlencrocheting]

Thank you so much.

[@beccafoley1448]

What if you want to make a rather large blanket that is way more inches than procreate can handle?

[@PlayHookywithMe]

What is happening for you in procreate? Is it telling you that it can’t handle the amount of layers or data? How big is your piece? If you are bringing an image into procreate, make sure it’s at a lower resolution to help with file size (72dpi) If none of this is working then I would suggest working in photoshop if you have it. It’s a powerhouse with file sizes . Also you could always just take it into stitch fiddle and it should be able to handle the inches there. But again , hopefully it’s just a case of lowering the resolution of your initial file size.,

[@beccafoley1448]

@@PlayHookywithMe you said that if you wanted to make an 18in project you needed to put 18in into procreate for the image size. Right? But if I’m making a huge blanket for like say a queen size bed. I’d need a 90in and procreate can’t handle that. So would I just have to take it into stitch fiddle and just do it there. Or would I just not do the paper size to 90in and just make sure I have the right number of squares or what? Does that make sense?

[@PlayHookywithMe]

@@beccafoley1448 me personally I would try a couple of different things . You’ve derived that you need 90 inches to make your blanket so then I would edit the measuring to something else (cm, mm etc) essentially just making sure that I’ve created a graph that has 90 squares. But yes, if that’s not working and you don’t have something like PS to accommodate the sizing , I’d give stitch fiddle a go. You can send the image to me over in Instagram message if you want me to give it a try or see if I can help you better.
