5 Joining Arrange the hexagons according to the above picture. Join the Hexagons around Hexagon 1 then Hexagon 2 then Hexagon 3. I used the whip stitch. The gaps which are facing outward will be joined with a special decorative stitch. Place the border so that one is above and one below. Every border side has six gaps. From the head of one petal to the other. Start with the gap on the below border on the right side. Crochet one sc in the gap Ch 2

6 Place the yarn in in front of your work and put it from above in the gap at the upper border, and crochet one sl st. Ch 3 and join with a sl st in the next gap from the bottom border. [3 ch, place the yarn in in front of your work and put it from above in the next gap from the upper border, and crochet one sl st. Ch 3 and join with a sl st in the next gap from the bottom border] repeat till the last gap from the bottom border. 3 ch, place the yarn in in front of your work and put it from above in the next gap from the upper border, and crochet one sl st. Cut yarn and sew in ends. Repeat around the blanket. Border The Hexagons are the highlight of the blanket so I decided on a simple border. Crochet 1 sc in one of the 1 ch-gaps of one of the hexagons. Around the blanket crochet 1 sc in every dc and 1 sc in every 1 ch-gap. At the joining points of the Hexagons crochet 3 sc. vvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvv I hope you will have a lot of fun crocheting the blanket!
