The other day I gave my social media followers a peek at this crochet Santa square and now I am going to give
you the graph pattern and tell you a little bit about a large project I have in the works!

Hi and thanks for stopping by! I'm Sarah, the

crafter, crocheter and crockpoter behind this
blog. Thanks to my wonderful, hard working
husband, I am able to stay at home with my two
preschool age boys and my newborn baby girl! I
have a passion for crafting and crocheting and
offer my patterns and tutorials for free!
Occasionally I will show you a new crock pot
recipe as well :) I hope you enjoy everything you
find here and please feel free to repeat after
me! , Sarah

Santa is square number 1 of 9 total squares that are going to make up a Crochet Christmas Character Afghan! As I
finish each square, I will post the graph and reveal the next character/image in the blanket. Feel free to work along
with me! After all the squares are complete I will sew them together and add a border. By Christmas (but hopefully
soon before) we will have ourselves a fun holiday themed afghan! I don't want to give too much away, but I bet
you can see some of the cute characters that are coming up (even if they are blurred out right now).

I am using the cornertocorner (C2C) technique. You can see my first C2C graphgan HERE that has a howto
video. But I am told that most people have success learning how to make a C2C graphgan by following THIS
VIDEO DEMONSTRATION by The Crochet Crowd.

Each pixel graph in my blanket is 25x25 pixel squares. I used a size F (3.75mm) hook and worsted weight yarn. For
this particular square I used Lion Brand Vanna's Choice in Silver Grey, Scarlet red, Pink, White, and Black.
VERY IMPORTANT: Instead of the traditional C2C method of using DC's and chain 3's to make each pixel, I used
HDC's and only chained 2 (and chained 5 instead 6 on the increase stitches). This allowed me to have a smaller
overall afghan square, measuring approximately 15x15 inches. You can absolutely use the traditional method but
your square will be much larger and your overall afghan will be much larger as well once you sew them all
together. As is, my finished blanket will be big enough for a twin size bed... possibly even larger!
You do not have to use the C2C method either! You can take this graph and make a standard SC graphgan. This
will produce nice small squares (think 25 single crochets wide and tall) that will be perfect for a standard size
blanket. You could also make Pixel Granny Squares and use the graphs I post to create separate character
blankets. There is also the Bobble Stitch method as well! So many ways to use these graphs!

When you finish the graph you will want to make a nice SC border around the entire square. Make SC+chain2+ SC
in each corner.

How much yarn did you use? I am wondering if one ball/skein will be enough for the same hook size you did this one.
Thank you so much for sharing your creativity with all of us!!

I've enjoyed many projects from your blog and have been watching the pixel crocheting. This is a project I think I need
to join in and make. My granddaughters will love it! (they are young 5, 2, and almost 1!)

I can't get the pattern link download to work. Is it just me? Windows 10 has made everything more complicated. :(

So I started a massive 9 panel blanket using no gap granny squares. It'll end up huge. I've only done 1 1/4 panels, but
I'm seriously tempted to just leave the one panel as it and start over using this method or the bobble.
It won't take forever then!

For the sc border, is it 2 sc per block then sc ch2 sc in the corners? Just want to make sure I am doing it correctly and
that all my blocks will have an even number for joining :)
