After finding this simple pattern for hexagons I just had to try it! I had a whole bunch of different shades of pink to use and went for a girly style blanket.
Each hexagon took about 10 minutes to make. It took a while to figure out how all the hexagons fitted together, but in the end it all Continue reading Finished: Hexagon Blanket 1

I am loving this combination right now! Greens and purples look great together, and adding the pink and parchment give the combination a boost and create depth.
