What’s a Graphghan aka Pixel Crochet?

A graphghan (pixel crochet) is a grid pattern you crochet in corner-to-corner crochet – OR – a row-by-row pattern. The great thing about graphghans is the size of your finished project is completely up to you!

How do I Make Different Sizes?

Well, you control the yarn and hook size to give yourself flexibility. To give you an example, I hosted a Mystery CAL last year for the Kawaii Pumpkin Blanket & Ellie Kate decided to work the graph in row by row and create a cute crochet top!

It turned out so cute. She worked the pattern in the round, then created a simple double crochet top.

However, I crocheted mine using a 5.5 mm crochet hook and a worsted weight yarn and it measures around 65″ x 65″!

Mind you, this graph was around 78 x 78 squares or so. The winter woodland animals graphs measure 58 x 79. So if you choose to work them with a larger weight yarn, you’ll get a BIG blanket!

Working it Row by Row

I am working the Winter Woodland Reindeer in a row-by-row fashion in single crochet to create a cute wall hanging for the holidays. Here’s what I have so far!

You can see the difference in size from working it in C2C vs Row by Row. this measures around 14″ wide, using a 4.5 mm hook and a I Love This Cotton yarn, which has a WPI of 14.

Furthermore, here is the reindeer by Wendy Chng! She does amazing work. You can see how big her blanket is, she is using a smaller hook and a 3-weight yarn.

Learn the fun crochet technique called Corner to Corner Crochet!

I’ve been working so hard to bring this crochet along to you and can’t wait to start! Throughout the CAL, you will learn how to do corner-to-corner crochet.
