C2C crochet pattern generator
In short: Upload a photo and get a C2C crochet graph plus written diagonal row-by-row instructions ("Row 12: 3 white, 2 red, 7 white"), so you never count squares on the graph. Each square is one C2C block; the materials list estimates yards and skeins of worsted yarn per colour and the finished blanket size. Free: unlimited on-screen patterns, colour key, materials list and PNG chart download. PDFs up to 60×60 are always free, plus your first full-size PDF; after that a larger print-ready PDF is $2.99 per photo, or $7.99 for 30 days of unlimited PDFs.

How it works
- Upload a photo; 40–60 blocks wide is a lap blanket, 80–100 a throw.
- Keep colours low (4–8) — each colour is a separate bobbin.
- Follow the written C2C rows starting at the bottom-right corner.

Reading C2C rows
Row 1 is the single block in the bottom-right corner. Rows grow by one block until you reach the shorter side, then you increase on one edge and decrease on the other, and finally decrease on both. Odd rows are listed from the lower-left end of the diagonal to the upper-right; even rows the other way, matching how you turn the work.
Picking a size
Blocks wide × 1.2 in ≈ finished width. A 50×60 graph makes about a 60×72 in throw with worsted yarn. Fewer, bolder colours read better from across a room.
FAQ
How do I turn a picture into a C2C crochet pattern?
Upload it, choose the width in blocks and the number of colours. You get the graph and written C2C rows instantly, plus yarn amounts.
Does it give written instructions or just a graph?
Both. The written C2C row-by-row list is on screen for free and included in the PDF.
How much yarn does a C2C blanket need?
Roughly 0.35 yards of worsted per block. A 50×60 blanket (3,000 blocks) needs about 1,050 yards before waste. The tool estimates per colour.
Can I use a different yarn brand?
Yes — the colour names are a guide. Pick any worsted yarn in similar shades; yardage estimates stay about the same.
