I can’t believe how fast this blanket has come together! I started seaming it last month (you can see a photo of it on Instagram here) and I can’t wait to move onto this month’s design – the Tiny Jack-O-Lantern Cup Afghan Square.
Sticking with my Halloween love an theme this month, I wanted to make this C2C square a Jack-O-Lantern coffee cup. It shouldn’t be super surprising because last year’s tapestry square CAL featured a very same design – a jack-o-lantern cup. I just can’t help repeating images because I love how they turned out all year long last year.
I love making Halloween designs, especially because this year as been so weird and this Halloween will be anything but normal. I feel for the kids who only have maybe 10 Halloweens they will be able to dress up and go get candy. I remember I stopped trick or treating at 13, I was handing out candy and helping my siblings get ready to go out. Now I miss it. Ya know? Maybe that’s why I like to make so many designs, they fill me with joy.
Like I said last C2C square post, all the coffee afghan squares will all be the tiny ones until December. I hope you like these squares! I can’t wait for next month’s – I have it already designed and my testers are almost done. I can’t wait to share it 🙂
So I leave you friends – I hope you all are healthy and happy and like this new design. 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.

- As is industry standard, this pattern is just a free graph and not written instructions but you can purchase the pattern for free in my Ravelry shop.
- 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.

Seaming
So I’ve started joining this blanket with a simple ch/sc join – you can check it out here. It’s not a perfect join, so I will be making a post about what I’ve done to adjust it for this blanket in December. 🙂
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 (coming soon).
