Blooming Hexagons is made up of individually knit hexagons that feature a beautiful blooming flower motif that when seamed together create a stunning flower bouquet.

This project is perfect for using scraps, mini, and advent skeins. Each hexagon uses approx 14g/51yds of fingering weight yarn.
The hexagons have both charted and written out instructions.
