Happy Crochet: Jumbo Crochet Hexagons

I haven’t had much time to craft just for me lately, but I did take a break last night to stitch this jumbo hexagon. The plan is the gradually chip away at a whole blanket. I love crocheting these. Check out this link to the very inspiring Attic24 blog if you’re interested in making some hexagons, too.

Nice work! Thanks for sharing, Ellyn. What kind of yarn are you using?

Jennifer, the hex looks snazzy. I tend to be more knit-oriented, but I like where you are going with this!

And Ellyn: wowser. Your blanket is gorgeous. I love how it looks both spontaneous and compositionally balanced at the same time.
