  • Neon Green
  • Neon Blue
  • Black
• Hook: 5.5 mm crochet hook
• Gauge: 12 double crochets (dc) and 7 rows = 4 inches

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Start with a Magic Ring:
   • Make a loop with your yarn, leaving a long tail. Insert your hook into the loop.
   • Chain 3 (this counts as your first double crochet).
2. Round 1:
   • Work 11 double crochets into the magic ring.
   • Join the round by slip stitching to the top of the chain-3. You should have 12 double crochets in total.
3. Round 2:
   • Chain 3, then double crochet in the same stitch.
   • 2 double crochets in each stitch around. Join with a slip stitch. You should have 24 double crochets now.
4. Round 3:
   • Chain 3, double crochet in the same stitch.
   • *Double crochet in the next stitch, then 2 double crochets in the next stitch; repeat from * around. Join with a slip stitch. You should have 36 double crochets.
5. Continue Increasing:
   • Continue this pattern of increasing until you have a hexagon with a total of 6 rounds. Each round will increase the number of double crochets by 12.
6. Change to Black Yarn:
   • Once you have completed your hexagon, switch to black yarn.
   • Single crochet (sc) around the entire hexagon to create a neat border.
7. Create Multiple Hexagons:
   • Repeat the above steps to create multiple hexagons in your chosen neon colors.
8. Join the Hexagons:
   • Arrange the hexagons in a puzzle-like pattern.
   • Align the edges of the hexagons and use a whip stitch or slip stitch to connect them together securely.
9. Finish with a Border:
   • Once all hexagons are joined, finish the blanket by adding a border of single crochet around the entire blanket in black yarn.
