Crochet Moon Gazing Hares – C2C

Crochet Moon Gazing Hares – C2C Crochet Pattern. I really wanted to have a go at corner to corner (C2C) so thought I’d give it a try.

Whilst looking for a design I came across this graph pattern on Pinterest.

It’s called kissing hares, but it reminded me of a moon gazing hare.  Perfect for this time of year as it represents rebirth, resurrection and fertility.

I fell in love with this design, here is the link:

C2C Moon Gazing Hares - Graph
Graph

This graph can be used as a pattern for corner to corner crochet (C2C).  For anyone that’s unsure about how to C2C, I found this great tutorial:

https://makeanddocrew.com/how-to-corner-to-corner-crochet-c2c-for-beginners/

I kept starting it then ripping it all out because it wasn’t turning out how I wanted it.  What can I say I’m a perfectionist!

Finally, I conquered it by using a No.4 hook and Cream and Light Blue DK yarn.  I also changed the pattern slightly. At the chain 6 and chain 3 points of the pattern I chained 5 and 2 instead.  This minimised the gaps between the tiles.

Overall, I really enjoyed this type of crochet …… once I got the hang of it!

My finished piece:

C2C Moon Gazing Hares – Crochet Corner to Corner

If I decide to make another one I would change the graph and make the hares a bit fatter and round their back ends a bit more.  Other than that I love it and I will make it into a tote bag.

I now have another million different ideas running around my head on what to do next in this pattern!

These are a couple of free patterns I found but I prefer the more natural looking flowers, so I used the pattern for the poppy from the headband.  Link below:

I switched the yellow yarn for black (no yellow yarn in my bag of tricks!).

Process

Create your brooch from the poppy pattern link above.

It crocheted up quite quickly and I loved the leaf design.  The pattern was quite easy to follow too.

These could be turned into brooches, button holes, handbag and hair accessories or added to blankets, scarves, cushions …. endless ideas!

Next time I might try adding a black button or bead in the middle.
