A complete photo and video tutorial for the Mini C2C (HDC) corner to corner crochet technique!

This tutorial will help you learn how to work the hdc mini c2c stitch. Worked in hdc stitches instead of dc stitches to make your blocks smaller and tighter. This allows you to work more detailed graphs in a smaller size.

I am using this stitch for my American Flag Placemat pattern which is a free pattern. With the hdc stitch I was able to make a more detailed flag yet stay within a standard placemat size.
The technique itself is essentially the same as standard dc c2c with some minor adjustments.
If you are unfamiliar with the corner to corner technique I have several photo and video tutorials which will help you
