    C2C Christmas Light Graph - Free Crochet Pattern

    1.3K shares

    This C2C Christmas light bulb graph is the fourth of nine free crochet patterns in my modern C2C Christmas afghan series. As an alternative to making the entire Christmas sampler, you can make this pattern into a festive pillow cover or crochet a series of these lightbulbs in different colors for an afghan.

    Crochet this free C2C Christmas light bulb graph to make a throw pillow or create several of these squares in different colors for a Christmas afghan. This free pattern is part of a 9 block modern Christmas afghan. Click for all the free corner to corner graphs! (Yarn is Lion Brand Vanna's Choice)Woohoo! Four of nine squares are finished! If you've missed my other corner-to-corner modern Christmas squares, you can find them here:

    WEEK 1: C2C RUDOLF THE REINDEER
    WEEK 2: C2C CHRISTMAS ORNAMENT
    WEEK 3: C2C MODERN CHRISTMAS TREE

    WEEK 5: C2C WINTER MITTEN
    WEEK 6: C2C SNOWFLAKE
    WEEK 7: C2C PINECONE
    WEEK 8: C2C STOCKING
    WEEK 9: C2C WREATH

This free pattern is part of a 9 block modern Christmas afghan. Click for all the free corner to corner graphs! (Yarn is Lion Brand Vanna's Choice in Scarlett, Raspberry, Linen, Kelly Green, Peacock, Barley, White)Something I've really enjoyed about this project is that each square is just about the right amount of crocheting to get done in the evenings over the course of one week. I have had to hustle a few times to get the square done in time to post it for you, but generally speaking, the one-C2C-square-a-week strategy seems to be working really well.

    This corner-to-corner Christmas light was one of my least favorite illustrations when I was designing all the graphs. Now that it's off the graph paper and onto the yarn though, I have to say that I love it. It's simple and contemporary and feels so iconic for Christmas.

(Yarn is Lion Brand Vanna's Choice)It's just so fun to see these graphs come to life as you crochet. (Except in the case of this lightbulb, where I decided to change the pattern a bit WHILE I was in the middle of the block, which meant some considerable frogging. It's all for the best though because I'm really happy with the result.)

    Despite the frogging, this corner-to-corner graph is the easiest one yet to whip up. The reason? Because the entire lightbulb is worked along the bias of the squares, there's very little counting you have to do in each row.

    I didn't realize this as I was designing it because this has been my very first C2C project, but I'm pretty lucky it ended up this way because it makes the block significantly easier to crochet.

    IMPORTANT NOTE: I'm using half double crochet stitches for my C2C squares instead of the usual double crochet stitches, so when I'm adding a box or square at the beginning of a new row, I'm chaining 5 instead of the usual 6 chains. Then I work my first hdc of that box into the third chain from the hook. At the beginning of each box (after the slip stitch), I use 2 chains instead of the usual 3 you'd use with a double crochet C2C project. This has allowed me to maintain a lot of visual detail in the graphs, yet hopefully end up with an afghan that's not too massive to snuggle under on the couch. (Each square should end up about 15x15" when you use half double crochets.)
