C2C Rainbow Placemat

This is a pretty easy project if you know C2C already. This took me less than 2 hours from start to finish including weaving in ends (and dealing with a giant yarn tangle). If you are observant, you’ll notice in the photo that the green stripe is one row less than the other colors, because I ran out! In the chart, the green stripe is the same size as the others. Just to point that out :)

I used worsted weight yarn and 6 mm hook. Depending on tension, finished object is approx 12” tall and 20” wide. You could put a fluffy white border on the outside to simulate clouds for a little extra something special.

C2C Elephant Blowing a Heart

I made this elephant C2C tapestry for my niece’s nursery and someone in my crochet group requested it. So here’s the chart! I used a 3.75 mm hook and light yarn (Paton’s Glam Stripes) and the piece ended up being 24'“x24” including the border.
