Those of you who follow along on Facebook may have already seen my latest WIP … my granny hexagon afghan. I am so in love with this project!
And since so many people seemed interested in making their own, I thought I would share the pattern with you.
Here’s what I chose …

| These are all Brava Worsted yarns from KnitPicks. Blues: Tidepool, Cornflower, Tranquil; Reds/Browns: Persimmon, Paprika, Sienna; Greens: Fig, Peapod, Dublin. |

Round 2: Join CB in the last ch-sp made (I do this so I can start crocheting over those pesky ends as I go), ch 3 (counts as dc), [1dc, ch 1, 2 dc] in same ch-sp, ch 1, [2dc, ch 1, 2 dc] in next ch-sp, ch 1, rep from * 4 more times, join and fasten off — 24 dc.
Round 3: Join CC in the last ch-sp made, ch 3 (counts as dc), 1 dc in same ch-sp, ch 1, [2dc, ch 1, 2 dc] in next ch-sp, ch 1, *2 dc in next ch-sp, ch 1, [2dc, ch 1, 2 dc] in next ch-sp, ch 1, rep from * 4 more times, join and fasten off — 36 dc.
Weave in the rest of those pesky ends.
That’s it for now. Check out my post here for how to join these hexagons together using the join-as-you-go method. For joining I chose a pretty cream color.
Very nice! I could see this covering a ottoman… or on the back of comfy patio furniture to cuddle up in on a cold evening
join as you go is the ultimate best. why on earth would anyone sew them together? looks fab!
It’s very beautiful! Love the way you have done your color scheme. I am always confused with colors and not that color confident. If there are too many colors, I just let it go wild:) I can try your way, looks more easier to separate shades.
Really nice love
) thanks for sharing the pattern!
Oh pretty pretty – I love it too. Will look forward to the next post for joining. Thanks so much for sharing. xoxox
Hexagon love – so tempting..My next blanket is a hexi one…will deff look into this pattern for the same1
It’s lovely Kara I enjoyed making a stash-buster hexi blanket too, It’s great to make something so beautiful out of yarn you have lying about at home.
Goprgeous , Kara !
You make everything so colorful and easy to tackle! Thank you for sharing your beautiful hexi blanket, Kara.
Love your colour choices. It looks great!

How many hexagons are you making for this? And what size do you plan on making? Also how much yarn did you order? I am looking at ordering Knit Picks Comfy Worsted yarn and there is about 100 yards less in a ball. I am going to do purples and blues, but join it all together with a grey color.
Hi Lindsey
Your colors sound sooo pretty!! I have been wanting to try their comfy worsted too … you’ll have to let me know how you like it. As for how many skeins, and hexagons it will take, I’m not sure yet since I am still working on it. I used left over yarn from my last blanket and believe their was about a skein and a half of each color left. I just ordered 1 more skein of each since I want to make it bigger. Hope that helps. Can’t wait to hear how you make out … and maybe even get to see your project too 
Hi Kara! Thanks for the input
I think I am going to order 4 balls of each color. That should be a good start. If I have lots left over, those colors would make great baby hats and slippers. Right now I am working on a king size afghan for my hubby so I won’t be starting on mine until his is done. He picked the yarn out seven years ago and I am finally getting to it. Its about 1/4 of the way done. I am terrible for starting ten different projects and never finishing them. So this year I have made a goal to finish all of my unfinished projects. Surprisingly I only have a few left 
I finally get to be a stay at home mom after years of working, so now when the kids are in school I will have time to complete things.
Kara, your blanket is amazing! It is so creative how you combined the colors in groups of three. It is going to be a piece of art
Love your afghan! Very beautiful.
Kara, this is beautiful!!! I love the look you’ve created.

This is a really beautiful Granny! It goes together so well ~ looks flawless!
Oh my goodness I LOVE this Kara!! It is turning out beautifully. I wish I had the patience for something like this, but I get board to easily.:(
This is absolutely beautiful! Thank you for sharing- this just got added to my to-do list!!!
Fun pattern!
Oh my goodness, those ends just KILL me. It’s such a downer after having fun making all those pieces, lol!
I have never made hexagon shaped grannies before…but I just pinned and tweeted this so I can be sure to add these to my “to make” list!
Kara, you always have the best tutorials! I can’t wait to see the joining one! Thanks so much for linking up on Hookin on Hump Day!
