My son loves cars, and his colorful race-car sheets inspired me to design a crochet blanket of his own! 🚗🌈

The finished blanket combines colorful corner-to-corner car squares with coordinating solid-color squares.

The digital PDF pattern includes:

🚗 A full-color car chart
📝 Written diagonal instructions
🎨 12 blanket layouts
💻 Access to the optional Car Square Companion web tracker

The Story Behind the Blanket

In this video, I share the finished blanket, how the idea developed, and some of the choices that went into turning one car square into a complete pattern.

Free C2C Crochet Tutorials

The pattern includes complete written instructions, but I also created two free video tutorials for anyone who would like to see the techniques in action.

Chain-2 C2C Crochet

Learn how to increase, decrease, change colors, and follow a C2C chart using the same Chain-2 technique featured in the blanket.

Joining C2C Squares

This tutorial demonstrates the easy no-border method I used to join the blanket squares directly with a crochet hook.
