You guys already know I have a slight addiction to making fun C2C crochet patterns. Well, here’s another one for ya… The Squeeze The Day Throw crochet pattern! What’s better than bright happy lemons on a beautiful frosty background? I just love how it turned out so much! It totally reminds me of warm summer days in the middle of July. Perfect timing, right?!
This one has a similar style to The Daisy Day Throw. That one was a HUGE hit. My top performing pattern of the last few months, that’s for sure! You guys loved it so much and I hope you love this one too! Once again, I used Lion Brand Basic Stitch Anti-Pilling yarn to make it. And I can attest to the fact that it really is anti-pilling! My blanket was stuck in some prickers that I had to carefully pull off and then had to wash some dirt off. It definitely is anti-pilling to say the least!
This blanket is Corner 2 Corner (C2C) style. If you’ve never heard of that, it’s exactly what it sounds like! You work from the bottom right corner to the top left corner to create this blanket! Each block on the graph below is made up of a square. Each Sq is a Ch 3 and 3 Dc. I have the full written pattern down below as well as the graph. I always recommend cross referencing the graph if you think you made a mistake. The graph is EXACTLY how your blanket should look. If you think you have 1 too many yellow squares in a row, look at the graph, then look at your blanket! Do they match? If not you can go back and pull out your mistake!
If you need a little extra help with this blanket or your new to C2C I recommend checking out my video tutorial to get going! Once you learn the basics of the squares it’s easy breezy from there on out. If you need some extra help learning how to organize your yarn or keep it from tangling there are a ton of helpful videos and blog posts out there!
I hope you guys enjoy this pattern and I can’t wait to see all of your Squeeze The Day Throws!

This is a Corner 2 Corner Pattern. If you are unfamiliar with this technique be sure to check out the video tutorial below.
The graph is read from the bottom right corner to the top left corner. You will be working diagonally and reading the rows from right to left and then left to right.
Each square on the graph counts as one block. One block consists of one Ch 3 and 3 Dc.
You will begin the rows with an increase square until you reach the bottom left corner. When you reach the corner you will be decreasing on this side and continuing to increase on the other. Once you reach the upper right corner you will no longer be increasing on either side and will start each row by decreasing until you finish.
I recommend using separate balls/skeins of yarn when switching colors to eliminate having to cut and join yarn frequently.
Square (Sq)- Join to next Ch Sp with a Sl St. Ch 3. Work 3 Dc into same space.
Increase square- Ch 6 work 1 Dc in 4th Ch from hook. Work 1 Dc in each of the next 2 Ch.
Decrease square- Join to previous row with a Sl St. Turn. Work 1 Sl St into the top of each of the 3 Dc across square. Sl St into the ch 3 sp. Ch 3. Work 3 Dc into Ch Sp.
