Making up

Once all the individual Hexagons have

been completed, arrange as per the Layout

diagram and join using the same colour

yarn as one of the Hexagons being joined.

Work all joins by holding squares with WS

together and working sl st in BLO.

Border

Outside of the Border is like a chevron

pattern; top of stitch = [1 htr, 1 ch, 1 htr],

where the hexagons join = miss 2 stitches.

Rnd 1: Join D with a sl st in any st on

blanket edge, 2 ch (counts as fi rst htr

here and throughout), htr around as

follows: 1 htr in each tr, 3 htr in each 2ch-

sp where the Hexagon faces outwards,

1 htr in each 2ch-sp adjacent to where 2

hexagons are joined, join rnd with sl st in

top of beg 2 ch.

Rnd 2: 2 ch, 1 htr in each htr except as

follows: [1 htr, 1 ch, 1 htr] in centre tr

of each 3tr-group, miss 2 sts where

hexagons are joined (these are the 2 sts

made into the 2ch-sps).

Fasten off.
