An interesting and creative book with instructions on how to C2C, corner-to-corner crochet. Using graphs and crochet stitches to Paint-by-numbers any design into blankets, wall hangings; pillows and much more. The author describes the techniques in easy to follow instructions, diagrams and photographs. I received this book for review as an epub and the formatting is not conducive to the use of the pictures and diagrams so I would suggest a physical copy if you are planning to learn C2C or complete any of the 15 beautiful projects. The book is well presented and thorough in it's explanations. It would be easy to learn this craft from this book.

This book contains 15 corner to corner (C2C) projects along with clear instructions for completing them.

The instructions are easy to read and follow. Photos from various angles are helpful in seeing what the project should look like. The patterns are laid out row by row, as well as, including a graft. They contain all of the yarn (with quantities and tools) necessary to complete them. While this may seem obvious, haven’t we all found that perfect pattern only to discover that the amounts or type of yarn are missing?

I have always wanted to try a C2C project but was afraid to try. After reading this book, I am going to dive in as soon as I complete the blanket I’m currently working on.

I received an eBook ARC in exchange for an honest opinion. This in no way affects my opinion or ratings of this book.

I am an intermediate skilled crochet artist who had never worked up the courage to try C2C. No matter how many YouTube videos I watched or patterns I read, I just wasn't "getting" it. The clear instructions and pictures in this book have allowed me to tackle and conquer this wonderfully visual effect and increase my needlecraft skills. I have already recommended it to many of my fellow "hookers" and will continue to do so. Thank you Jess Coppom.

As someone who's been dying to do a proper graphgan, and is always afraid to do C2C, this book was not only a great help but a great reassurance. Having it to refer back to is a comforting idea. While I know some of these resources are easy to find, having them all in one place in a book, particularly one this easy to follow, helps make things so much easier.

The designs in this book are wonderful, very contemporary. I loved the skyline design and would double the size of the blanket to make it into a throw. The concept is original but the instructions are so good that anyone could have a go. Beautifully illustrated and lovely to browse through. Thank you

I was really excited to get a copy of this book. I have never done any corner to corner projects but was excited to try something new. This book has several patterns including a few apparel items but I think it really shines with the blanket and pillow patterns. It includes many photos of instructions on how to actually do this technique and to my delight photos of how to weave in the ends properly. It is a great resource.

This book is really good for anyone who wants to learn or master the corner-to-corner method of crochet. It starts with a tutorial of each step to start your C2C project. Photos of each step are included as well as a written explanation. It explains how to change colors and provides information about how to manage all the colors. There are also tips throughout the book. It includes 15 projects with patterns and materials needed as well as a difficulty rating. The patterns include written instructions as well as a graph. The photos are beautiful and the book is simplistic that gives a modern and clean look. I think everything is explained well and is easy to understand. I can't wait to try a project!

I love the idea of a different crochet technique! The cover of this book got my attention, but the contents really exceeded my expectations. Lots of clear pictures especially in the instructions and techniques, and a great selection of patterns to choose from - 15 in all. The Midtown Stroll Baby Blanket is beautiful and will be my first project. I'm making that one for myself! Brushstrokes Scarf and the Endless Sky Poncho will follow. Knowledge of basic crochet stitches is recommended.

Great tips and excellent illustrations for both the expert or novice in C2C crochet. Easy to follow patterns will have you looking at new and creative ways to utilize this technique. I have been crocheting for 20 years and I found a lot of the tips to be helpful and new information. I especially liked the section on wrangling!

Great introduction to corner to corner crochet techniques. Stitch graphs are very easy to follow. Photographs are provided to walk through step by step process for stitches, edging, tassels, and joining techniques. Wide variety of projects are also provided from blankets to clothing to pillows. Pattern instructions are detailed and clear. Believe this book should appeal to any level of crochet enthusiast.

I’ve been crocheting for many years, but I have never tried corner to corner crochet. This book looked really interesting, so I was keen to give it a read. Corner to corner crochet gives some stunning effects for blankets and the like, and there are plenty of things to try in this book all rated as beginner, intermediate and expert. There is a good clear section at the beginning on how to actually crochet corner to corner, and whilst it is explained well it still looks quite difficult to understand all the charts and everything. I would imagine whilst it does state some of the patterns are for beginner, I think you still need to be a good crocheter to begin with!

There are good clear photos to accompany the projects and throughout the instructions and it does look like something that I really want to try! Obviously, as with a lot of these books, if you are in the UK, remember the terminology for UK/US crochet is slightly different. There are also little helpful hints in how to finish off your project and also how to stop all the different coloured balls of wool tangling up with each other!

It looks a wonderful book, and I’m definitely going to give it a try at some point! Watch this space for my crochet to crochet blanket!

This is a beautifully photographed and thoroughly explained method of creating crochet pieces with mostly a double crochet stitch. I appreciated not only thorough instructions but diagrams in the back of the stitches that would be needed

Love it! I love crocheting but I never used this technique. I will definitely try the beanie, winter is knocking at tge the door. When I made my first washcloth we used it for the bathroom. Love the ideea of a poncho and the Arrow throw blanket looks amazing.
Great job!

I've only recently taken up crochet and fancied trying my hand at corner to corner but couldn't get to grips with it even after watching lots of Youtube videos. However, this book contains everything you need to get started. The pictures really help and there's lots of patterns that are achievable for beginners.
