Step-by-Step Instructions

Hexagon Pattern

1. Start with a magic ring: Create a loop with your yarn, leaving a long tail. Insert your hook into the ring and pull up a loop.
2. Round 1: Chain 3 (this counts as your first double crochet). Work 11 double crochets (dc) into the magic ring. Join the round by slip stitching (sl st) to the top of the chain 3. You should have a total of 12 dc.
3. Round 2: Chain 3, then work 1 dc in the same stitch. Now, work 2 dc in each stitch around. Join with a sl st to the top of the chain 3. You will have 24 dc at the end of this round.
4. Round 3: Chain 3, then work 1 dc in the next stitch. Now, work 2 dc in the next stitch. Repeat this pattern: *1 dc in the next 2 stitches, 2 dc in the next stitch; repeat from * around. Join with a sl st to the top of the chain 3. You should have 32 dc.
5. Round 4: Chain 3, work 1 dc in the next 2 stitches, then 2 dc in the next stitch. Continue this pattern: *1 dc in the next 3 stitches, 2 dc in the next stitch; repeat from * around. Join with a sl st to the top of the chain 3. You will have 40 dc.
6. Finish: Fasten off your yarn and weave in all ends using a tapestry needle.

Assembly

1. Create Hexagons: Make a total of 40 hexagons using the pattern above, alternating colors as desired to create a vibrant patchwork.
2. Arrange Hexagons: Lay out your hexagons in a pleasing layout on a flat surface. Feel free to rearrange them until you are satisfied with the design.
3. Join Hexagons: Use a whip stitch or slip stitch to join the hexagons together. Make sure to join them securely to avoid gaps.
4. Add a Border: To finish your blanket, work a round of single crochet (sc) around the entire blanket. Change colors every round for a striped effect, using the five colors of yarn.
5. Final Touch: Fasten off your yarn and weave in all ends to ensure a neat finish.
