Dutch Rose Blanket CAL: Half Rose Hexagon Pattern (US and UK Terms)

written by

Welcome to the Half Rose Hexagon pattern for the Dutch Rose Blanket CAL! You will find both US and UK Terms here on this page.

Materials

  • For full yarn list for both colorways, please see the Main CAL Info Page.
  • We will be using a size 3.75mm hook, or whatever hook size you need in order to get gauge.

Gauge

Hexagon motifs should measure 7.5in at the widest point, and 6.75in from flat side to flat side.

Repeat and Bracket Guide

  • Square brackets [ ] are used for small repeats: 4dc, [2dc, 3tr, 2dc] 2 times
  • Asterisks *are used for repeats that include small repeats: *5dc, [ch1, 1dc] 3 times in next ch, rep from * 3 times
  • Round brackets ( ) are used when a string of stitches are worked into the same spot: (3tr, 3ch, 3tr) in next st

Tips and Notes

  • Weave your ends after each time you cut the yarn to avoid having to do them all at the end.
  • Please read the stitch guide for any abbreviations.
  • To get a neater result, I do not “chain up” for the first sc of the round/row. Jump straight into the first sc.
  • Read carefully through the entire pattern before beginning.
  • “Ss in 1 ch” or “Ss in 2 chs” means to slip stitch into that number of chains of the first chain space.

Note: Half Rose Hexagon motifs are worked according to the yarn color and quantity listen in the week’s instructions.

Because the Half Rose Hexagon only differs from the Full Rose Hexagon at the beginning and end of the row, in addition to a few other differences, there are video, charted, and written instruction, but I have omitted the step by step photos.
