Five films, about ten hours on the sofa and seven crochet hexagons: that’s my idea of a perfect November Saturday. This is a crochet-along for a Twilight marathon (or any long film day): one hexagon per film-and-a-bit, joined into a little table mat after the credits, or keep going for a blanket.

Written in UK crochet terms (tr = UK treble = US double crochet). Beginner-friendly: the motif is my basic hexagon, six rounds of trebles (12 / 24 / 36 / 48 / 60 / 72 tr), about 15 cm across on a 4 mm hook.

You’ll need

• DK wool in two colours: about 2 × 50 g main, 1 × 50 g contrast for the joins and edging
• 4 mm hook (US G/6)
• tapestry needle, stitch markers

The pattern is on my blog with a photo for every step: how to crochet a basic hexagon (seven motifs, then the join-as-you-go-round edging). There’s a slide-deck version too.

The free PDF (9 pages, A4) is the crochet-along kit to go with it:

• a marathon plan with run times and snack breaks
• the crochet-along tracker: 7 hexagons × 6 rounds, which hexagon to work during which film
• the joining notes (contrast colour, double crochet through the inside loops)
• a Forks colour palette for your wool basket
• round-counter strips, a rounds-per-film log, a snack card, my La Push Bonfire Cocoa and a do-not-disturb door sign

Want a smaller make for the tree? The same motif turned into Hexagon Christmas Ornaments.
