Do you know how to crochet the c2c wattle stitch? It is such a fun and easy stitch to learn! I love using this crochet stitch for blankets and washcloths currently.
It’s an easy enough stitch that I feel even a relatively beginner crocheter could easily learn it. It’s made with chain stitches, single crochet stitches and double crochet stitches. There may only be 1 stitch that you may not be familiar with, if you a beginner and that is the single crochet 2 stitches together. That is the only other stitch that the c2c Wattle stitch requires.
How to Crochet the Wattle Stitch?
If you have ever crocheted the regular wattle stitch, then you know just how easy it is to do. If you haven’t, you can find my full tutorial for it HERE
I learned the regular wattle stitch over the past Summer and made washcloths with it! I recently wanted to learn how to crochet it in the corner to corner fashion and really like this way also.
I’m currently working on a baby blanket with the C2C wattle stitch with Lion Brand Mandala Ombre Yarn in the color Chi.
What can I make with the C2C Wattle Stitch?
There are so many things that you can make using this stitch! The different things include –
- Baby Blankets
- Afghans
- Washcloths
- Potholders
- Shawls
The great thing about this stitch is that it is an easy, mindless stitch. It’s a stitch that you can easily work while watching TV or while riding in the car. It doesn’t take a lot of concentration after the first couple of rows and you can work it up super easy and fast!

What type of yarn is best for the C2C Wattle Stitch?
Lots of different types of yarns will work for the corner to corner wattle stitch! DK weight yarn, worsted weight yarn or even bulky weight yarn. Try them all out and see what you like best!
Different blends of yarns work for this stitch too. I mostly use Acrylic yarn or cotton yarn when I crochet.
When learning a new stitch, you can use a cotton yarn and work up a sample with it. Make it big enough that it can be a washcloth when you’re finished. That way instead of pulling it back out you can have a finished piece like a washcloth while you learned a new stitch.
I have included the written tutorial, along with some pictures and a full video tutorial for this stitch! If you enjoy my tutorials, please be sure to SUBSCRIBE to my Youtube Channel! Thank you so much for your support!
