Creamsicle C2C Crochet Blanket Square

Welcome to week 11 of the Sweet Treats Blanket CAL! This weeks square is designed by Ann Hart of Northern Lights Fiber Arts. Square #11 is the Creamsicle C2C Crochet Blanket Square!

I loved crocheting this square because as a child I loved Creamsicles. The tart orange taste with the rich vanilla ice cream always reminds me of childhood.

I hope you enjoy creating this fun square!

I used the mini-c2c technique for my blanket. If you are not familiar with mini c2c, please check out this article I wrote for Happily Hooked Magazine all about mini-c2c.

C2C means corner-to-corner. You are working each square from the bottom right size diagonally to the top left side. If you are not familiar with C2C, please refer to my post called C2C Basics to get familiar with this fun crochet technique.
