Learning c2c / Learning Corner to Corner

Dear users, dear authors,
what do you need to keep in mind if you want to learn c2c / corner to corner?

I found a free pattern for this:
Learn the c2c technique

Be sure to pay attention to the direction of the increase—make sure you’re crocheting in the right direction.
The yarn you use shouldn’t be too thick or too thin.
I find that size 3–4 yarn works best.

Once you get the hang of it, this pattern can easily become addictive. I really like this pattern and enjoy crocheting it over and over again.

The beginning—the first few rows—is a bit tricky, but easy to manage with a good pattern.

You might want to start by crocheting with a gradient yarn. That way, you already have a bit of a pattern without having to change colors just yet. You always crochet from corner to corner, which keeps things interesting.

Then you alternate different colors across the rows. After several rows (block stripes), you move on to the next color. You look forward to the next color and don’t want to stop. Once you’ve reached the desired size, the rows get shorter again, and each row is finished more quickly.

   You can crochet many things with this pattern: liners for the bread basket, rugs, blankets, or pillows.

Pay attention to the yarn, because this pattern requires more yarn than just single crochet or double crochet stitches. You don’t want the blanket to end up too heavy.

To take it up a notch, try crocheting a picture. Here, I crocheted a pillow with the Hulk on it for my son.
