About the C2C Method
This beautiful square crochet project is composed of individual “pixels” that are worked together with the corner-to-corner technique to make the wolf image. It’s an easy design to make, as long as you remember to keep the order of the pixels correct.
The pattern includes written row-by-row instructions and a color pixel graph to make sure your wolfie comes out as beautiful as the one seen in the photos! This project uses only half double crochets and is worked diagonally.
What You Need to Get Started
Before you get down to this project, make sure that you have the right supplies. The pattern calls for aran-weight yarn such as Red Heart Super Saver and a 5.5 mm crochet hook.
The exact amount of yarn will depend on the type of project you’re going to make with your C2C squares.
How Many Colors Are Used In the Wolf Square?
To bring this pixel art to life, you will need yarn in 7 different shades. I know it’s quite a color palette, but most of the details require very small quantities that I’m sure you will be able to find in your stash. The shades used in this crochet wolf pattern include: white, black, dusty grey, grey heather, buff, gold, and light blue.
Creative Ways to Use This Square
These C2C crochet squares portraying a majestic wolf design are great for different projects. Use them to:
- Adorn your blanket, afghan, or throw.
- Work them into a crocheted tote bag.
- Create a picturesque pillow cover.
What else? They can also be used to decorate a children’s room, for example, as a wall hanging. The Grey Wolf would be a favorite with any little boy!
