One of 10 projects in my book, Go Crochet! Afghan Design Workbook, 50 motifs, 10 projects, One of a kind results.

Funny, contributing this pattern, it didn’t ask me about the colors!

I used: #66 bright blue and #42 eggplant

One reader writes: The amounts given for the yarns in the pattern were not correct (at least for the yarn I was using). I started with 12 balls of light blue (A color) and 6 of dark blue (B color), and ran out of B before I had finished all of the hexagons. Have ordered more B, but we’ll see how much is required.
Also, the pattern is different from the picture. The picture uses A for center of hexagons and B for center of triangles, but pattern calls for A to start both.
