What is the C2C Moss Stitch?
C2C Moss Stitch is a unique approach to the traditional moss stitch. The corner-to-corner technique means it is worked diagonally instead of regular rows. The result is a fabric with a woven look and nice stretch. This stitch is a favorite for gradient yarns, as it allows for a beautiful blending of colors throughout the fabric.
Best Yarn Choices for the Perfect Texture
For a well-defined texture, choose worsted weight yarns such as Red Heart Super Saver or Caron Simply Soft. However, it all depends on what kind of project you’re going to make.
Lighter yarns, such as DK or sport weight, provide a softer look, while thick yarns give a cozy effect you might want to achieve when crocheting a blanket. The size of your hook should match the yarn you decide to pick.
In What Projects Can This Stitch Be Used?
The C2C moss stitch is a multi-purpose technique that you can use for the following types of projects:
- Blankets and bedspreads – The diagonal design makes it perfect for colorful afghans.
- Scarves and shawls – Its dense texture will produce a cozy round-year accessory.
- Table runners and dishcloths – A great way to add a handmade touch to your home decor.
