Assembly

Now that you have your hexagons ready, let's piece them together.

• Lay out the hexagons in a pattern that pleases you, alternating between lavender and white.
• Join the hexagons using a slip stitch or whip stitch:
  • Position hexagons in 5 rows of 6 hexagons.
  • Stitch through the sc edges, ensuring the sides fit perfectly together.

Edging

Once you’ve joined all the hexagons, it’s time to finish the throw.

• Attach lavender yarn at any corner.
• Round 1: Ch 1, sc evenly around the edge, placing 3 sc in each corner to maintain the shape. Join with sl st.

Beginner Tips for a Neat Throw

• Use stitch markers to keep track of rounds or important stitches.
• Count your stitches regularly to avoid mistakes.
• Maintain consistent tension to ensure even coverage.

Common Mistakes (and How to Fix Them)

• "My hexagons seem misshapen." – This may happen if you don’t count your stitches accurately. Always double-check your rounds.
• "My throw feels too tight." – If your stitches are too tight, try using a larger hook to achieve the desired look.
• "Some of my edges don't match." – Make sure you are joining the hexagons at the right points. Take your time to position them correctly.

How to Care for Your Throw

Hand wash your blanket in cold water with a mild detergent. Lay it flat to dry to maintain its shape and avoid any stretching. If you've added a fleece backing, you can wash it on a gentle cycle.
