Infos for the Pattern:
I have another blog entry here on Crazypatterns where I explain the C2c more with a step-by-step explanation. If you are not feeling well experienced with the c2c technique I would recommend reading the blog as I hope it could help you a bit more.
I did adjust one thing in this pattern to the Blog entry though, I always start with a chain of 5 instead of beginning with 6 CH, as I find it gives a nicer picture and it makes the little holes smaller.
For this: Start with chain 5 and work the Block, which is the first DC into the 3. CH from the hook instead of the 4. The second block in a row and all following are then started with chain 2 instead of chain 3.
For a nice edge work the last DV of a row not in the chain space like all the other DC’s but into the second chain stitch of the previous round on the top.
You still work 3 slip stitches along the edge when you start with the decreases and start the next Block of the row as before with chain 2.
To work the graph read the uneven rows from right to left and the even rows from left to right.
I always write at the beginning of the pattern row if it’s a increase or decrease row, so you would know if this row starts with chain 5 or with 3 slip stitches along the edge and chain 2.
Work with colours: Generally, you would use a ball for each part for a colour, you finish the part and leave the yarn attached for the next row. If you work with many colours and even a colour repeats itself but later, you will end up with many different balls. Sometimes you can carry the yarn over to use it again, I would do that only if one of the blocks touching have the same colour. It might need some practice to figure out when its best to cut a yarn and sew in the ends or to carry it over. Also, it depends a bit on what you are Crocheting.
I did sometimes count how many Blocks I need to work with one Color and calculated how much I need for each Block and cut that amount off so I did not have too many yarn balls crossing my work.
Colour Change: Work the last DC with the old colour but wait with the very last pull through, use the new colour to finish the last loop from the DC, use the new colour for the slst as well. Drop the unused Colour on to the back of the work.

I’ll add many more C2C squares on my Blog in Future, keep your eye open for them. All the squares can be sewn together then for a nice big blanket. I’ll also add a Blog entry to how to do that.
If you want to use this pattern for a Dishcloth, Facecloth or oven cloth you can easily add a hanger. For this just attach the yarn in a corner with a slip stich and chain around 17 stitches, finish it off with another slip stitch at the beginning of the chain.
If you crochet this pattern, I would appreciate a comment how you got along and if you upload a photo of your make on Instagram please don’t forget to tag and follow me @_lovelyyarns
