Although square-based blankets are great, you can have enough. For those instances, here is a beautiful HexaWhirl Blanket Pattern made of interlocking circles, almost like chain mail, where the portion between the rings is filled with an attractive lacy hexagon. Coupled with the correct choice of a color gradient, this is a beautiful project that will provide a great distraction from granny squares!
What You’ll Need to Get Started
Claire Norden, the designer of this crochet hexagon blanket pattern, used a 3 mm hook and two cakes of Scheepjes Whirl to create this gorgeous throw. It’s a high-quality fingering yarn with fabulous color transitions. Apart from that, you will also need two skeins of Scheepjes Catona in matching colors.
The blanket features corner tassels that will look even more charming when adorned with beads, but this step is optional.
Can Beginners Try the HexaWhirl Blanket?
The project is quite simple to make since the blanket is entirely made of hexagons. Once you get the grasp of the pattern, the rest will go easily.
The hexagons are made mostly with basic stitches such as chain, double crochet, and slip stitch. You should also know how to make the magic ring.
The designer provides written instructions and a helpful chart, so you can follow either one or use both resources.
How to Join the Motifs Without the Stress
The best way to assemble your hexagon pieces is the join-as-you-go method. This means that in every last round, you will stitch the hexagons to each other. It’s a popular technique that eliminates the need to join all pieces at the very end. Just remember to plan out the hexagon’s layout carefully!
Can I Resize the Hexawhirl Blanket Easily?
The finished blanket is approximately 38″ by 44″. To get different measurements, you can either modify the number of building blocks or choose different tools. A thicker yarn and a larger hook will make the hexagons bigger.
