In 2024 I made this rather lovely Crochet Quilt made up of mini hexies, joined together to make flowers in the style of English Paper Piecing (EPP) quilts. This isn’t a full and complete written pattern in my usual syle, but I did want to bring together all the information I have about making these hexie flowers and show you how I’m joining them into a quilt.

Description
NOTE: This is not a written pattern as such, but a series of video tutorials showing how I made my blanket. See link below.

Skill Level
Easy/Intermediate
Basic crochet stitches needed for the mini hexies.
Joining is a little more tricky, but I have a video to take you through it

Yarn
Flowers - I’m using a mix of left-over and stashed 4ply/fingering weight minis
Background - Drops Baby Merino in White (01), this is a sport weight yarn but works well with the 4ply/fingering weight yarns I used. (Yarnsmiths Merino Sock also works well)

Substitutions
Most yarns will work well for this, choose a yarn that is suitable for your project.

Hook
2.5mm (I’m using one size down from the recommended size.)
Use an appropriate size hook for your yarn - but you may wish to use a slightly smaller size hook (as I have done) to get nice tight hexies!

Size
One Hexie Flower is 10cm (4”) across, but this will vary with your yarn

Border
This is optional. I didn’t add one, but instead backed my blanket with fabric and added a fabric edging.

Videos
Four tutorial videos to show:
