Assembling the Blanket:
- Make a total of 30 hexagonal motifs in the same color pattern.
- Arrange your hexagons in a desired pattern on a flat surface (e.g., a bed or floor).
- Join hexagons together by lining up edges and slip stitching or whip stitching along the sides using the same black yarn.
Finishing:
- Once you've joined all hexagons, weave in any loose ends.
- To ensure the blanket lays flat, block it by dampening and laying it flat to dry, adjusting the shape as necessary.
Optional Variations:
- You can change up the colors of the hexagons for a different look or use all one color for a monochromatic blanket.
- Add a border around the entire blanket by chaining 2 and single crocheting along the edges, creating a scalloped edge if desired.
This vibrant hexagon granny blanket is perfect for any home and makes an ideal gift for loved ones. Enjoy your cozy creation!
