FO No. 6 of 19: Mini Hexagon Blanket

written by

Hello, gorgeous crafter! Today, I have another WIP to FO reveal for you. I am so determined to finish these blankets and telling you about it is keeping me accountable. As I complete each blanket, I will be updating the WIP entry In the WIP pile reveal post. Check back on it to follow my WIP to FO journey!

There isn’t really any order that I am finishing these in either, so expect them to be fairly random. I tried to organize them in a way that made sense, but after all was said and done, it just made the most sense to go with my creative gut and finish whichever one I wanted to work on next.

Here’s my Mini Hexagon Blanket that is now finished!

I’ll be adding in FO pics and links to all of the WIP -> FO blog posts on the WIP pile reveal post.

Gathering and Working Up Motifs

These miniature 2-round hexies were made from the leftovers of several projects. I used any yarn that was about fingering to sport weight. Some are fuzzier, some are shinier, some are monochrome multicolor, but they all disappear into the rainbow layout.

Check out just the pile of reds – so much variety!

–

And all of the colors together in a circle.

–

I divided the circle into groups and decided where I wanted the top and bottom of the blanket to be, but I actually ended up splitting the circle in the natural way that a rainbow looks.

–

But just in case you wanted to see what a blanket looks like that is split at the yellow and yellow-green, here is an example from my 2024 VVCAL. Here you can see what I mean.

And we made it to the final project!

Another leftovers blanket and the demo design from my free pattern blog post, Mini Hexies Blanket: A Free Demo for My 7-Step Guide to Multicolor Motif Blankets . That blog post is like a demonstration walk-through of the post before it, which was “All Those Ends!”, “Layouts are Hard!”, and More… A Definitive Guide to Multicolor Motif Blankets, Plus Bonus Free Demo Blanket .

I put the groups into bags (don’t worry I’ve been reusing these same bags for projects for years) ready to be added to the blanket.

Creating the Layout

I published so many photos of this project and the process of building the layout in those 2 posts linked above, but here are a few pics of the layout growing. I just used each baggie in straight layers across the blanket.

–

From a bird’s eye view, you can see that I have 10 color families or color groups.

  • Violet
  • Blue-red
  • Orange-Red
  • Orange
  • Yellow
  • Yellow-green
  • Blue-Green
  • Teal
  • Blue
  • Purple

And the finished object. Love this one! Will definitely be making these tiny hexies after every project to make the next one.

Yarn Information

Brief interruption to let you know more about this palette!

I used Scheepjes Catona (Jimmy Beans Wool, WoolWarehouse), Stone Washed (WoolWarehouse), River Washed (WoolWarehouse), and Spirit (WoolWarehouse).

The join is made with Scrumptious Yarn.

Back to the project!

Finished Blanket

And here is the final blanket. I’m proud of this one, and making blankets like this is what will help your random leftovers sing and shine. If you want a lot more info on how to create an artful blanket like this, you should check out my Creative Art Blanket Course. I guarantee you will have some takeaways from the course, and you will have found value in it.

–

Creating a rainbow is basically one of my favorite things that I do in my work, and so this blanket did not disappoint.

The honeycomb of a hexagon layout will always draw me in, as hexies are my absolute first love when it comes to crochet design.

–

Close-Ups

I wanted to show some close-ups of the layout so you can see the differences in the yarn variety.

–

When you look at the hexies closely, you see the different yarns, but when you zoom out, you just see a rainbow!

–

Look at those cute Spirit Yarn pinks.

–

These fuzzy Stone Washed yarns mixed with the smooth Catona is one of my favorite combos.
