Vintage Pickup Truck Blanket
Our Fall CAL is here! If you loved my Vintage Christmas Tree Truck, Vintage Spring Flower Truck and my Vintage Summer Lake Truck blanket patterns I've released earlier this year; you won’t want to miss the Vintage Fall Truck Blanket! Check out this color palette that just SCREAMS pumpkin spice and apple picking.
What is C2C (corner to corner) Crochet?
The Vintage Fall Truck Blanket will be created with the C2C stitch. C2C (corner to corner) crochet has been a popular crochet method for creating blankets, pillows and other projects with pictures on them for several years now. The C2C crochet stitch is super easy to learn and I have a video tutorial to help you every step of the way. The pattern for the Vintage Fall Truck Blanket is available in both chart form and in written color changes.
Choose Your Fall Color Palette
I love the versatility of C2C patterns like this because, even though you are following my chart, it doesn’t mean you have to follow the exact colors that I used. And that means that, overall, this truck blanket is a great scrap buster pattern because many of the colors require less than one skein of yarn. I chose colors that scream fall to me. If you have scraps of leftover oranges, reds and gold that aren’t exactly the same as mine that is totally fine! Your blanket will still look great.

C2C Stitch Instructions
This blanket it constructed with the Double Crochet Corner to Corner stitch (C2C).
Starting row of C2C: Ch 5, DC in third ch from the hook and in the next two ch sts (3 DC). This makes your first "pixel" square.
C2C Increasing Row: Ch 5, DC in third ch from the hook and in the next two ch sts, *sl st into the next ch 2 space from the previous row, ch 2 and work 3 DC into the ch 2 space of the previous row. Repeat from * across until you have worked 3 DC into each ch 2 space from the previous row. Each row will increase by one pixel (e.g. Row 2 = 2 pixels, Row 3 = 3 pixels, etc.)
C2C Maintaining Row: "maintaining" rows are what I like to call rows that maintain their stitch count over several rows. This allows you to create a rectangular piece with the C2C stitch. In this pattern, you will continue to increase on the left side (by one square), but you will decrease on the right side (by one square)
C2C Decreasing Row: this portion of the pattern uses decreasing rows. Your "square" count will decrease by one each row. In part two, you made "maintaining" rows by increasing on one side of the project and decreasing on the other. Now, you will decrease on both sides of the project.
Special Notes
• You can choose to work with multiple skeins/bobbins or you can opt to "carry" your yarn throughout your project.
• If you choose to follow the written color changes PLEASE reference the chart also as you go. It is always much easier to catch mistakes right away instead of a few rows past it.
For the written instructions, odd rows are worked "left to right" and even rows are worked "right to left" in reference to the chart.
