There are four different ways to start a new colour. In week 1 we had two different methods: the very first panel started with chain 6 after a slip knot. This is the only time you start like this. From the second panel forward, you attached on one side: the side of the previous panel in the same strip.

Now, in Week 2, we'll start strip 2. The bottom of strip 2 is attached to the top of strip 1. You attach the first panel of this week only on strip 1, but then the next four panels are attached on the bottom (in strip 1) and also in the side (of the previous panel on strip 2).

You won't be attaching in the exact same manner for each panel. This has to do with the direction (horizontal/vertical) and orientation (front/back) of the double crochets in each block. With the C2C technique, you want the blocks to diagonally have the same direction and orientation.

Please pay close attention to the way in which you attach. Check for each panel whether the blocks are running smoothly in diagonal direction and whether the blocks directly adjacent to each other are therefore opposites of each other.

In this week, we'll finish the bottom half of the project. You'll learn three different ways of attaching: at the beginning of the strip (with chain 6), to make a horizontal block first and finally to make a vertical block first. You'll need all three methods in this project.

Strip 2

Strip 2 - Panel 1: 2 blocks high and 16 blocks wide; Colour E

Start in a corner exactly on the corner, above the place where you started panel 1 of strip 1, with Colour E. Pull a slip knot through this hole.

First strip in purple and turquoise blocks, crochet hook with dark brown yarn in the corner

You can fasten your end a little bit already, by chaining the first chain with double yarn: the yarn end and the normal yarn. This makes the chance of unraveling smaller. It's not absolutely necessary, so you can also chain 6 as normal.

Chain 1 with both ends

Dark brown yarn attached with a slip knot in the corner of the purple strip

Chain 5 as normal. You're going to make a block that has the opposite direction and orientation than the block sitting adjacent. You need to pay attention to this whenever you attach a new colour.

First chain crocheted with doubled dark brown yarn next to the purple strip

Double crochet into the 4th, 5th and 6th chain from the hook.

If you'd like, you can darn away your end here. Put it in a darning needle, pull it through the last double crochet and through the chain 3. Turn

3 double crochet into the chain space you've just made (see darning needle in the picture below). Please pay attention you always use the chain space of the same colour and not (accidentally) the chain space of the panel below. You're inserting your hook below the Colour E chain space, not below the Colour A chain space.

When you're at a colour change of a previous strip, always use the hole you've already crocheted into. You use the same hole again. Do this consistently during the project.

Chain 3, slip stitch into the slip stitch between 2 colours (see needle in the picture below).

Slip stitch between purple and turquoise at a color change, pointed out with the darning needle

Chain 3, make 2 blocks

The term block is used here and throughout for a combination of (chain 3, 3 double crochet) that together make the block shape in the Corner to Corner stitch.

Two dark brown blocks high above the purple and turquoise strip

Carry on like you've done so far, keep making two blocks in each row.

Dark brown panel two blocks high continued along purple and turquoise

Your desired width here is 16 blocks wide and 2 blocks high. Chain 3, make 1 more block.

Dark brown panel 16 blocks wide almost finished, last block still on the hook

Make sure you end the panel in the corner. Fasten off.

Strip 2 - Panel 2: 2 blocks high and 12 blocks wide; Colour F

This is the method to start with a horizontal block. You can tell that the blue block underneath the corner has vertical double crochet, which you view from the back. You want to make a block with horizontal double crochets that you view from the front for your first block here.

When you change colour, you attach into the same slip stitch as the last block of the previous panel (see needle in picture below):

Carry on. This panel is 12 blocks wide and 2 blocks high.

Lilac panel 12 blocks wide and 2 blocks high on the yellow strip

Strip 2 - Panel 3: 2 blocks high, 12 blocks wide; Colour G

For the change of colour, continue crocheting in the same way as before. You will now see that there is again a block with vertical double crochets, which you see from the back, directly under the block you want to make now. So you want to make a block with horizontal double crochets that you see from the front. To do this, you work in exactly the same way as for strip 2 - panel 2.

Light purple yarn attached next to the lilac panel above pink and yellow

Strip 2 - Panel 4: 2 blocks high and 12 blocks wide; Colour H

Here the colour change is the same again. You start with a block with horizontal double crochet. Please check if that's the same for you and make a panel of 2 by 12 blocks.

Strip 2 - Panel 5: 2 blocks high and 6 blocks wide; Colour E

Attach the last colour in the same way. Please count your blocks: panel 5 should have 6 blocks in Colour E.

Strip 2 finished with the last panel in dark blue, pink and light purple above it

Strip 2 is finished and this is what it looks like!

Strip 2 finished in dark brown, turquoise, lilac, pink and blue, laid out in a Z shape

Strip 3

Strip 3 - Panel 1: 2 blocks high and 6 blocks wide; Colour A

Start in the same way as how you started strip 2. This strip has the exact same widths and colours as strip 1, but you attach it to strip 2.

Strip 3 started with blue yarn above the dark brown panel

Please be mindful when you change colors, of the direction of your blocks.

Strip 3 - Panel 2: 2 blocks high and 12 blocks wide; Colour B

You can tell that the block you need to make has horizontal double crochets, because the block beneath and beside it both have vertical double crochets, shown from the back. You first block has to have horizontal double crochets again.

First blue blocks of strip 3 above dark brown, turquoise and blue
Strip 3 with panels in turquoise, dark brown and blue next to lilac and yellow

Strip 3 - Panel 3-4: 2 blocks high and 12 blocks wide; Colour C and then Colour D

Keep paying attention to the orientation of your first block, then the other blocks will automatically come out right. Make it a habit to pay attention to the orientation of the blocks after each color change: are they exactly opposite to their direct neighbors? And exactly the same as the diagonals? Great!

Strip 3 - Panel 5: 2 blocks high and 16 blocks wide; Colour A

Your final panel in this strip is a long one again: 16 blocks wide in Colour A.

Strip 3 is finished and this is how it looks:

Strip 3 finished, the work laid out in a Z shape with all the color panels

Strip 4

This whole strip is made in the exact same manner as strip 2.

Work with strip 4 in turquoise, dark brown and blue, crochet hook at the end

This is what your work should look like now:

Four strips finished, a long narrow piece with color blocks in stripes

Strip 5

Attach like for strips 2, 3 and 4, but be careful: the block is wider than the previous first panels of this colour set. 7 blocks wide, not 6.

We're going to learn how to start a panel with vertical double crochet. After you've learned this (and darning these type of panels af), you'll be ready to finish this week!

Strip 5 - Panel 1: 2 blocks high and 7 wide: Colour A

Crochet in the same way as strip 3, but keep in mind that the colors shift here. After crocheting 7 by 2 blocks, you still need to fasten off. To do this, chain 3.

Blue panel of strip 5, three chains crocheted at the end

Slip stitch in chain space in the corner.

Chain 1, cut the yarn and pull through. Use a tapestry needle and weave through the side to secure.

Then pull the yarn through the bottom of the double crochets, now you can cut the yarn and your panel is finished.

Tadah!

Blue panel 1 of strip 5 finished above dark brown, turquoise and blue

Strip 5 - Panel 2: 2 blocks high and 12 wide: Colour B

Color change. Join with a slip stitch in the corner between strip 4 and panel 1 of strip 5. You will see that the squares below and next to the new block you want to crochet have horizontal double crochets. So now we are going to do something new. Chain 3, then crochet a slip stitch in the slip stitch between 2 blocks of the previous strip (and not "up" on the previous panel; see darning needle).

Turquoise yarn attached, darning needle pointing to the slip stitch between two blocks

Chain 3

Three chains in turquoise next to the blue panel of strip 5

Turn your work, make 3 double crochet into the chain space you just made. Slip stitch in between two blocks of strip 5, panel 1 (see needle).

First turquoise block, darning needle between two blocks of panel 1

The block you just made has the double crochets in the opposite direction as the blocks right next to it and below it, can you tell? So your new one has vertical double crochets, but the one next to it and below it have horizontal double crochet. Check this for each and every colour change: this should always be the case.

Turquoise block with vertical double crochets next to blue blocks with horizontal double crochets

Darn away the begin yarn, pull the yarn through the last double crochet and through the chain 3.

3 double crochet into the chain space you just created in this colour. Now you can continue like you've made the other panels in the first four strips.

Make your strip 12 by 2 blocks. At the end you'll darn it off again, same as for strip 5 panel 1. Chain 3...

Strip 6 started in dark brown, lilac yarn attached at the darning needle

Strip 6 - Panel 2: 2 blocks high and 12 blocks wide; Colour F

You change colour here, based on the method to produce a vertical block first: attach in the corner between strip 5 and panel 1 of strip 6, chain 3, slip stitch into the slip stitch between 2 blocks of the previous strip (see needle). Chain 3, turn, make 3 double crochet into the chain space. Slip stitch into slip stitch between the two blocks of panel 1, strip 6.
