Notes

Did everything with 0,5 hook size larger because I want the blanket to get larger.

part 1(5-4-2016): licht roze wibra, wit zeeman, antraciet zeeman. Used 1 whole skein of grey for the 4 hexagons. used in Total 148 grams of grey for this part. Finished this part at 7-4-2016.

part 2(19-4-2016): used a bit more than one skein for the 4 hexagons. When I look at all the parts together, I wander how I want the flowers to look like. Don’t know if I am going to like yellow in the blanket… Hmmm, I think i Will see when i am crocheting the other parts.
Finished this part at 23-4-2016.

part 3 pff, i am in kind of a shock after crocheting the first block of this part. The colours and pattern are almost screaming to me. Such a difference compared to the first two parts.
I really don’t know if i like it with all the black. Maybe change it to a darkgrey background as in part 1.
Decided to stick to the black. It lets the colours pop. Finished this part at 8-5-2016.

part 4 was very similar to part 3. finished this at 21-5-2016.

part 5 love this hexagon!

part 6 i struggeld so much with the bullion stitches. I cant do them. They made me want to throw it all away. But i liked the yellow in the flower so much that i decided to make two backpost single crochet in every other dc. Chain 1 between the dc’s. It doesnt looks as nice as the bullion stitch, but it will do.
