About This Pattern
This free tutorial includes everything you need to complete the square, including a printable C2C graph, complete written pattern, colour guide and finished measurements. Crochet the koala as a standalone square or combine it with the other Wild Animals C2C Squares to create a colourful safari-inspired blanket full of friendly animal faces.
Worked diagonally using the popular C2C crochet technique, this square grows from one corner to the opposite corner while gradually revealing the finished design. Every square in the Wild Animals Collection uses the same graph size, making it easy to mix and match your favourites.

Construction Guide
Quick Guide: How to Crochet a Corner-to-Corner (C2C) Square
Corner-to-Corner crochet is worked diagonally from one corner of the square to the other using small double crochet blocks.
Step 1 – Make the First Block
Chain six. Work one double crochet into the fourth chain from the hook and one double crochet into each of the remaining two chains.
Step 2 – Increase
Continue increasing one block at the beginning of every row until your square measures 25 × 25 blocks.
Step 3 – Follow the Graph
Work the colour changes shown on the graph while following the written row-by-row instructions below.
Step 4 – Decrease
Once you've reached the widest point of the square, begin decreasing each row until only one block remains.
Step 5 – Finish
Fasten off, weave in your yarn ends and lightly block the square before joining it with your other animal squares.
