This week, I have begun work on the first few hexagons for the second blanket! I have actually changed what pattern I am using. It is meant to be a honeycomb-themed hexagon pattern, and luckily the majority of unused yarn I have happened to be yellow.
I have 7 currently made, but I did change the pattern slightly so I do need to redo one of the rows for two of the hexagons. Fortunately, this will not take much time. I want to make roughly 30 or more hexagons total over the next 4 weeks, which will leave me with 2 weeks to join the hexagons together. So far, I am very happy with the progress I have made. Having half of the project done halfway through the allotted time is an encouraging sign. Currently, I am doing my best to research ways to join the hexagons. I have one method which appears to be the best to use. However, this method of joining was intended for use in projects with square tiles. I definitely want to make a final decision on how to do this at least before Week 8 or 9 of the project. It's possible that I could simply sew them together. I see this as an option especially because I want to practice my sewing skills, and it seems less complicated and less tedious than joining the tiles using crochet. I will have to add the white border seen in the right hexagon to all of them, but this will not take much time. It will also not be too much effort to remove it if the need arises. I also wanted to add the patterns I used just in case anyone was interested. The first blanket was heavily inspired by a website called Daisy Farm Crafts; here is the link to the pattern. The hexagonal pattern for this blanket is a slightly modified version of the Honeycomb Hexagon pattern from a blog called Purple Chair Crochet, found here. I changed the pattern by using 2 double crochets in Round 3 instead of 3 double crochets.
