Merry-Go-Round Hexagons

The yarn for the “Merry-Go-Hexagons” is Red Heart Roll With It Melange. One cake of Green Room and one cake of Paparazzi. I got approx. 18 Hexagons per cake using a size J hook. I made 32 WHOLE HEXAGONS & 6 HALF HEXAGONS. I joined them with a SC tight join using Bernat Softee Cotton (cotton/acrylic blend) in Feather Gray. (2 skeins)

Then 1 round of Moss Stitch in an accent color, with SC, chain 2, SC for the CORNERS. 2 times. Then 1 round of Moss Stitch in the border color, with SC, chain 2, SC for the CORNERS.
