Joining
Arrange the hexagons according to the above picture. Join the
Hexagons around Hexagon 1 then
Hexagon 2 then Hexagon 3. I used the whip stitch.
The gaps which are facing outward will be joined with a special
decorative stitch.
Place the border so that one is above and one below.
1 2 3
Every border side has six gaps. From the
head of one petal to the other.
Start with the gap on the below border
on the right side.
Crochet one sc in the gap
Ch 2

Place the yarn in in front of your work and put it from above in
the gap at the upper border, and
crochet one sl st. Ch 3 and join with a sl st in the next gap
from the bottom border. [3 ch, place the
yarn in in front of your work and put it from above in the next
gap from the upper border, and
crochet one sl st. Ch 3 and join with a sl st in the next gap
from the bottom border] repeat till the last
gap from the bottom border. 3 ch, place the yarn in in front of
your work and put it from above in the
next gap from the upper border, and crochet one sl st. Cut yarn
and sew in ends.
Repeat around the blanket.
Border
The Hexagons are the highlight of the blanket so I decided on a
simple border. Crochet 1 sc in one of
the 1 ch-gaps of one of the hexagons. Around the blanket crochet
1 sc in every dc and 1 sc in every 1
ch-gap. At the joining points of the Hexagons crochet 3 sc.
