We will be joining our motifs during weeks 18 and 19. For this VVCAL, I really wanted to give the option for the SC join as you go with PLT, because I love the look, and so many of you do as well.
–
In order to achieve this join, the final round of the motifs cannot be worked completely, because during weeks 18 and 19 we will be joining them as we go on that final round. If you are working the SC with PLT Join as you go, where all of the motifs touch instead of having a joining yarn in between, only work the first 2 sides of the final round on all of your motifs, up to but not including the third corner, and do not cut the yarn. During Weeks 18 and 19, we will complete the remaining sides and join them together.
If you are working the SC with PLT Join as you go, here is an example of how your motifs will look when you are finished:
–
Note that the first 2 sides are worked, and the next step will be to make the 3sc corner, which is where we will pick up when we join. I like to roll up my motif so that the attached yarn balls don’t get all tangled. About halfway through the VVCAL, the full PDF with layouts will be released, and you can start joining then if you like! More on that later down the line.
–
For all other joining methods, work the final round completely, and cut yarn.
Now, find your version below and get started!
Catona 10g Colour Pack version
Note: I am working the SC join as you go with PLT Join for this version demo, so I have left a longer tail and I will be picking out the final round later on to join.
Note: This week, get gauge with Plain Hexie A by making sure it measures as the diagram below, unblocked. All other hexies should be compared back to this one throughout the CAL to get gauge. You will need to get 1 motif from 1 x 10g ball.

Note: Since this version does not use 10g balls, it doesn’t matter as much that your hexagons meet the spec below. As long as they are all the same size as your Plain Hexie A, you will be golden.

If you are working the SC with PLT Join as you go, where all of the motifs touch instead of having a joining yarn in between, only work the first 2 sides of the final round on all of your motifs, up to but not including the third corner, and do not cut the yarn. During Weeks 18 and 19, we will complete the remaining sides and join them together.
If you are working the SC with PLT Join as you go, here is an example of how your motifs will look when you are finished:
–
Note that the first 2 sides are worked, and the next step will be to make the 3sc corner, which is where we will pick up when we join. I like to roll up my motif so that the attached yarn balls don’t get all tangled. About halfway through the VVCAL, the full PDF with layouts will be released, and you can start joining then if you like! More on that later down the line.

For all other joining methods, work the final round completely, and cut yarn.
Now, find your version below and get started!
Catona 10g Colour Pack version
Note: I am working the SC join as you go with PLT Join for this version demo, so I have left a longer tail and I will be picking out the final round later on to join.
I suspect my second Snowdrop motif was stolen by my new puppy, but once I find it, I’ll retake the photo 🙂
Note: This week, get gauge with Plain Hexie A by making sure it measures as the diagram below, unblocked. All other hexies should be compared back to this one throughout the CAL to get gauge. You will need to get 1 motif from 1 x 10g ball.

Note: Since this version does not use 10g balls, it doesn’t matter as much that your hexagons meet the spec below. As long as they are all the same size as your Plain Hexie A, you will be golden.
