Welcome coffee lovers, to the last post of July and this month’s Coffee C2C Square! I think you’ve already guessed, if you follow me on social media, that this month’s coffee design is in honor of how hot it is – the Iced Coffee C2C Afghan Square! Nothing better than when you can sip on a nice cool coffee when it’s 90 degrees outside. Right?
So, as I was saying, this design is based on the ever refreshing iced coffee so many of us enjoy when the weather turns to melting. I haven’t had one this year, as I’ve been staying in the house, but I have unintentionally made one by letting my cup of coffee cool for too long. Ha! It’s not the same, sadly, just not the same. I can’t wait to be able to go out and get a nice cool coffee but better safe, ya know?
Wow, got off on a tangent there. Oops!
Oh, one thing I did want to talk about is that this square is the last 23″ one until December, which I already have an idea for. If you’ve looked at all the collection of squares you’ll see I’ve broken this project up into 6 23″ squares and 6 11″ squares – I wanted to make a fun visual of different sized squares in the final product. The next couple of months you will only be seeing the smaller 11″ squares with some fun cup designs.
I am so hopeful as this project grows that it will be a fun and funky finished blanket. Sometimes I think I should spend more time planning out what I want to make but other times I just like to go with the flow – see how I feel the month before the square is due and go from there. But then the blanket is a surprise to me as much as it is to you all, so maybe I’ll keep doing that. Ha! Who knows.
Anyway, I hope you all are healthy and happy where you are. Please be kind to one and other, wear your masks, wash your hands, and be safe friends!

Please note: I was provided the yarn for this pattern by Lion Brand Yarn for the purposes of making this design, without compensation. I wasn’t provided the yarn with the expectations of positive or negative reviews but I did enjoy using this yarn, I’ve used it many times and it’s always a great worsted acrylic yarn.

Notes
- This is a C2C pattern worked from the bottom right corner to the top left corner.
- This pattern is a square, so you don’t have to worry about increasing on one side and decreasing on the other.
- Each C2C square consists of 3 double crochets and a ch-3. The directions will only tell you what color (ie: Color A, Color B, etc…) and the number tells you how many squares to make.
- Check out the tutorial by Meghan Makes Do on how to do C2C designs if you’re unfamiliar on this technique.
- You will need to know how to change colors in a C2C for this pattern.
- Rows 1 – 36 you will be increasing and rows 37 – 71 you will be decreasing.
- The even-numbered rows are worked down and the odd-numbered rows are worked up. The even-numbered rows are the Right Side.
- In the photos: Color A is cream (Lion Brand Yarn Basic Stitch Anti-Pilling in Ecru 4.5 oz/ 225 yds), color B is black (Lion Brand Yarn Basic Stitch Anti-Pilling in Black 2.5 oz/ 132 yds), color C is brown (Lion Brand Yarn Basic Stitch Anti-Pilling in Taupe Heather 3.5 oz/ 185 yds), and Color D is green (Lion Brand Yarn Basic Stitch Anti-Pilling in Grass .75 oz/ 40 yds).

At this time I haven’t decided how I want to join all the squares, so feel free to drop a comment below if you’d have any advice. I might add a border to the squares later or maybe just sew them together. Who knows!
Don’t forget, you can buy an ad-free pdf of the written instructions for this pattern in my Ravelry shop or in my LoveCrafts shop.
