About

I live in a very cold area and wanted an extra warm blanket for my bed. I have borrowed a wave pattern crochet throw my late aunt made and decided to try and make something similar myself.
Update; I have finally finished the 37 hexagons and added some in progress photos. The piles of hexagons, the hexagons laid out ready to be sewn together and 3 of the rows sewn together. I decided to change the layout as when I laid everything out in the original formation, it was fairly wide and as my caravan bed is only 70cm wide I changed the layout to accomodate this.
