Everyone loved this hexagon pattern that I invented so much, and lots of people on and off the internet have asked for a pattern so I decided that I must sort it out. So here we go a very, very long detailed tutorial showing every step including how to join them up without sewing and a few tips on the way too!
Its quite a plain hexagon which is just what I wanted. I wanted to simulate the Grandmothers flower garden patchwork design. I wish I had used only one colour for the ‘petals’ on each block now, maybe next time…

Use DK yarn in various colours. Try yellow for the centres, blossom colours for the 6 petals of each block and lots of a nuetral shade for the pathways. If this is a project that will be made over a length of time using project leftovers then an easily found pathway colour may be best, like black, white, ecru or grey.

2012 - Have since used a 5.5mm hook and Aran weight yarn… super fast blanket production!
