Pattern Notes
- There are several ways to crochet into chain spaces. For this pattern, I used the first method shown in the video below.
- If you can’t see the video above demonstrating how to crochet into a chain space, watch it on YouTube.
- Considering a project where you join hexagons together? Watch my video below on how to join motifs 5 ways (mattress stitch, whipstitch, slip stitch, single crochet, or join-as-you-go). For this motif, unless you want a very open project with limited structure, I would not recommend join-as-you-go. As you fasten off CD at the end of Rnd 5, consider whether a longer yarn tail would be helpful for your join.
- If you can’t see the video above demonstrating crochet seams, watch it on YouTube.
