This is a modern crochet pattern design, stitched up in 4 colours of double knit yarn to create a lovely gradient effect. It would be ideal for a blanket or cushion cover!

The pattern:
The block is worked in the round and always from the front, using a combination of basic stitches to create the petals. The pattern is for the full hexagon and matching half hexagon motifs. Included are step by step photos and detailed written instructions.

The pattern is written in UK terminology, with a conversion chart at the top of the pattern.
