The Seastar Blanket consists of 86 hexagon motifs and 8 partial motifs to fill the gaps at the top and bottom. The motifs are joined as you go, making for minimal finishing. The pattern uses the simplest crochet stitches: chain, single crochet, and double crochet.

The pattern has both written instructions and charts and also includes empty grid layouts to colorize, so you can easily visualize how the colors will play together before you pick up your hook. Choose your beloved colors and use these blank templates as your sketchpad to create your own unique design!
