Hi There, This time something different — hexagon. Hexagon is another great shape to create a crochet blanket. I think this pattern can be used to create a winter-themed blanket because there is a snowflake in a middle. I will try to create an entire blanket in Christmas colors. This hexagon is easy to crochet.
