Deeside Stitches Corner-to-Corner Crochet Workshop Scheduled for March 2026

Deeside Stitches brought corner-to-corner crochet to Banchory earlier this month, running an improver-level workshop on March 14, 2026, focused on the C2C technique applied to a scarf or cowl project.

The session was pitched squarely at crafters who have moved past the basics but haven't yet tackled the diagonal grid construction that defines C2C work. Rather than a beginner's introduction to hook and yarn, the workshop assumed participants already had foundational skills and were ready to work through the geometry of building fabric square by square from one corner outward, increasing across and then decreasing back down to the opposite point.

Choosing a scarf or cowl as the workshop project was a practical call. Both are manageable in scale for a single session, give enough yardage to establish the C2C rhythm, and produce a finished accessory worth wearing. Cowls in particular suit the technique well because the diagonal lines created by the stitch pattern wrap naturally around the neck without the abrupt edge seam you'd get in some other constructions.

The event was listed on Eventbrite, with details also appearing on Trip.com for the Banchory location. Deeside Stitches operates in the Deeside area of Aberdeenshire, and the March workshop reflects the kind of structured, skill-building programming the group has made a focus for its community.

For anyone who missed the March 14 session, C2C remains one of the more approachable intermediate techniques to self-teach once you've seen the increase and decrease logic demonstrated even once. The stitch count pattern is consistent enough that most crafters find it clicks quickly after the first few rows.
