JOINING THE HEXAGONS

Join flower hexagon blocks together as presented in the joining chart found below.

NOTE. If you are using the Beige - Blue yarn-kit, join flower hexagons together as presented in the Beige-Blue photo above.

Tip: Join 3 flower hexagon groups (Joining Chart, black arrows. Total on six 3 flower hexagon groups).

Join the middle part of the blanket (1 flower no. 5 + 6 flower no. 4 hexagons) together. This way you will have a great base for joining the rest of the seams together evenly.  

Continue joining hexagon blocks together as shown in the Joining Chart. 

Starting with a standing stitch single crochet, 

*Place 2 flower pieces together wrong sides together. Sc into the corner ch2-sps of both pieces. (Ch 1, sk dc, sc through ch1-sps of both pieces) 11 times. Last sc goes through the left side’s corner ch2-sps.* 

Cut yarn and secure ends OR continue in the next hexagons by repeating *-*. Repeat *-* in every seam as shown in the Joining Chart.  

Fasten off, pin in place and apply lightly steam with iron or mist with water and leave to dry.

BORDER

The starting point is marked on the Joining Chart (above) with red arrow. 

Start all rounds with a standing stitch, 1st sts are marked with red -X (= sc). Follow the Border Chart (below) and crochet into the hollows between the hexagons as chart point 2 and around tips of the hexagons as chart point 1.

Note: On the long side of the blanket, there are two hollows in a row (2 x chart point 2). 

Join with slst to the 1st sc after every rnd.
