In this blanket, the colors in the hexagons are arranged to appear as a stack of 3D cubes or blocks. The same distribution is visually perceived differently depending on whether it is viewed from one perspective or another.

Pattern includes row-by-row description and photos.

It is suitable for almost all levels of crochet experience from beginner to advanced levels.
You will need to know how:
(US English) chain stitch, slip stitch, single crochet, half double crochet, double crochet and triple crochet.

Using a crochet hook of 3.5 mm and Sport/DK yarn:
