Embark on an intergalactic crochet journey with our free Star Wars crochet C2C pattern.
“Your feeble skills are no match for the power of the dark side.” - Palpatine / Star Wars, Episode VI: Return of the Jedi
Are you on the hunt for a free Star Wars crochet C2C pattern? Well, here you go. I purchased the Rebel Alliance pattern from the Blue Daffodil Crafts shop on Etsy. After finishing the blanket, we wanted a matching “bad guys” blanket. So, this is how the free Galactic Empire crochet C2C pattern was born.
Since I was unable to find a Star Wars Galactic Empire crochet pattern anywhere, I had the bright idea to make my own. After countless tweaks, I was able to get it done. And since we wanted it to be the companion piece to the Rebel Alliance blanket, I made it the same size.
Now that I have finally finished the piece, and it actually turned out pretty cool, I am ready to share the free Star Wars crochet C2C pattern with all of you.
What is C2C Crochet?
Corner-to-corner (C2C) crochet is a popular technique used to create diagonal patterns that resemble a series of small tiles. This technique involves working in diagonal rows, starting at one corner of your project and building toward the opposite corner.
Each row is made up of small tiles or blocks, which are worked in a particular stitch pattern and then joined to the previous row. The result is a textured and visually interesting fabric that can be used to make a variety of projects, such as blankets, scarves, and even garments. C2C crochet is a versatile and fun technique that is popular with crocheters of all skill levels.
How to C2C Crochet for Beginners
To complete the Star Wars crochet pattern, previous C2C crochet knowledge does come in handy. But it is not necessary. I was able to get started quickly and learned a lot by watching the video from Lovable Loops. She even gives you a free C2C crochet pattern of a dog you can try first.

Learn How to Crochet
Do you want to make this awesome blanket, but do not know how to crochet? Do what I did, I learned how to crochet using a beginner-friendly crochet kit from the Woobles. Once you learn how, you can complete this free Star Wars crochet C2C pattern and show it off to all your friends.
If you are new to crocheting, these kits will teach you how to hold your crochet hook and yarn. You will also learn how to read crochet patterns. And in the process, you will make your first amigurumi stuffed animal.
I learned with their Penguin Crochet Kit. I looked at it for so long. Each time, I tried to talk myself out of it. I can’t do it. There’s no way I will learn how to crochet from a kit. Blah Blah Blah. If you are negative, like me, you understand.
Do not wait. I was seriously able to sit down and learn how to crochet using this amazing kit. It teaches you everything from holding the yard, how to hold a crochet hook, and reading crochet patterns. Included with the kit is a link to the most helpful how-to crochet videos I have ever seen.
I am now addicted to crochet! And I think this free Star Wars crochet C2C pattern is proof. How do I get these crazy ideas in my head? They just pop in there, and I have to run with them. This one took me a while, but I am so glad I did it.

Free Star Wars Crochet C2C Pattern Notes
This free Star Wars crochet C2C pattern is worked using the Corner to Corner (C2C) technique. I have included a printable graph along with written instructions.
• Difficulty: Intermediate. There are a lot of color changes!
• Gauge: I am a very tight crocheter. Luckily, the gauge is not very important for this free Star Wars crochet C2C pattern. My C2C blankets end up being about 6x6 blocks per 4 inches. I think most crocheters get 5x5 blocks per 4 inches.
• Dimensions: ***Please see gauge notes.*** My blanket ended up being approx. 37” x 43” with the border. At 5x5, it would end up being close to 42” x 52”.
To complete, you will need:
Worsted Yarn (white)
o I used 4 skeins of I Love this Yarn White
Worsted Yarn (gray)
o I used 3 skeins of I Love This Yarn Grey Beard
Size H-I crochet hook
o I used Luxury Crochet Hook I - 5.5mm
Stitch markers
o I used Yarnology Locking Stitch Markers
Yarn bobbins (optional)
o I mostly used handmade yarn bobbins, but finally broke down and purchased Yarnology Yarn Bobbins.
Yarn needle
o I used Boye #16 yarn needles.

Free Star Wars Crochet C2C Pattern
I have written the following instructions based on the way I learned how to follow C2C crochet patterns. I start at the bottom right-hand corner, and my first block is worked down. I know this is different than what some other people have learned.
I have added an arrow on the Star Wars graphgan showing you which direction to work in using the written instructions. If you follow graphgan patterns in a different direction, feel free to work directly from the graph, or work the rows backward.
I have quadruple checked that I wrote these instructions down correctly. That surely doesn't mean that I didn't make a mistake. If you find one, please let me know.

Adding the Border
As noted above, I did not include border instructions for this free Star Wars crochet C2C pattern. Instead, I used the Moss / Linen Stitch Border. I followed along with this tutorial from Blossom Crochet. I made one round in white and two in gray. You can use any border you prefer.
