A Quick and Simple Blanket Crochet PatternThe C2C or Corner to Corner blankets are EVERYWERE! The crochet stitch used for this blanket is a fun one to work and is sort of a mindless project stitch. Years and years and years ago (20 or more), I learned this stitch as the Brick Stitch. I've seen it called by other names and I've also seen other stitches called the Brick Stitch. No matter the name you call it, it still works out the same. This blanket is worked from side to side and creates a fun little chevron look when using more than one color. It's easy to work to the size you want which means you're not limited to just a baby blanket or throw size. Make it yours! Have fun with colors and enjoy some crochet time!

I am not a fan of thick cowls. I struggle with wearing thick scarves but give me a pretty, thin, lightweight cowl or scarf and I'm good to go! The Spring Sparkle Cowl crochet pattern was originally designed using Red Heart Yarn's Boutique Swanky yarn. It was a thinner yarn with sequins that was really pretty to wear. Sadly, they have discontinued that specific yarn but luckily, there are plenty of other yarns that will work well for this project.
This is a quick and easy project to work up and great to crochet on the go! To allow for a nice drape, I suggest using thinner yarns such as Caron Simply Soft, Red Heart Soft, Premier Yarn's Antipilling or similar 4ww yarns.
