It’s done!!
The edging turned out beautifully! It really cleaned up the edge and tied the whole thing together. And I only had to go round the blanket twice, phew!
And for all those interested, the all important stats!
Pattern: Hexa-ghan by verybusymonkey
Yarn: Universal Cotton Supreme Yarn
I used 3.09 skeins/556.2 yards/309 grams of lemon, 2.54 skeins/457.2 yards/254 grams of beige, 3.17 skeins/570.6 yards/317 grams of lime, and 3.09 skeins/556.2 yards/309 grams of teal. That brings the total to 11.89 skeins/2,140.2 yards/1,189 grams of yarn total. I worked a total of 44 hexagons in eight rows!
Needles: US 8 dpns
Mods: I added a single crochet border around the edge to neaten it up and tie the whole project together.
Now it’s washed, dried, folded, and waiting in Jellybean’s crib! I can’t wait 🙂
Happy Knitting!

Awesome!! It’s so pretty! It’ll be a treasured heirloom, I’m sure. (I still have an afghan my grandma crocheted for me as a kid and I love it- even with the scratchy polyester yarn and groovy 70s colors. It reminds me of her. )
Love comes in all shades 🙂
Love it! Great job 🙂
Thanks!
Well done! It’s gorgeous. I can’t imagine the time you put into that. Lucky jellybean. 🙂
It’s beautiful! And it looks oh so soft. ☺
So cuuuuuuute!! I hope we get to see pictures of a baby wrapped in it.
I love it!!!!
It’s so beautiful. I love the design and the color 🙂
It turned out great! The edging was definitely needed. It finishes it off perfectly.
so pretty! 🙂
What an intriguing pattern! Did you do the individual blocks on straight needles or in the round?
They are in the round from the outside in. So you pick up the stitches of the adjacent hexagon when you start. No seaming!!
Looks lovely, I love the colours!
It is SO beautiful!! What a precious labor of love!
Thanks!
So exciting! Now you just need the baby! 🙂
That is adorable! Love it!
It’s so lovely, I wish I’d spent more time knitting for my little ones but I was quite obsessed with nappy soaker sand hand spinning back then. Now they are bigger and knitting for them takes so much longer :). Will you breastfeed? (That’s the midwife in me asking & maternal and child health nurse!)
