Beach Scenery C2C Throw Blanket

Corner-to-corner (C2C) crochet is a technique for making pixel-art style creations, so this project is kind of a combination of crochet and cross stitch, making it super fun to design! Now that winter is officially here, I found myself craving a warm throw blanket, and what better way to pretend it's summer than to act like you're at the beach?

If you're unfamiliar with C2C, check out this easy-to-follow Youtube Tutorial (part 1 & part 2)! It explains how to create each diagonal, change colors, increase, and decrease in a very digestible way. C2C is a great way to crochet blankets, afghans, scarves, etc.
