African Flower Hexagon Afghan

[tammyc77]

I just posted a link to this on Ravelry to the person who was looking for a seat cushion here on CT. I am using the pattern to make an afghan, it is still in progress, but I wanted to show you it now!

I read numerous people's remarks on Ravelry on how addictive this pattern was. I didn't know what they meant until I had made a few and couldn't stop!! This is an awesome way to use scrap yarn. For me however it's been a rather expensive endeavor as I have not been knitting or crocheting all that long, so did not have that large a stash of any single brand of yarn. I've been using Caron Simply Soft, Simply Brights, Bernat Satin and Red Heart Soft and the afghan feels really soft. Very surprisingly, to me, the ones made with the Caron Brights tend to be my favorites!

Thanks, Tammy. Will you post a link for the pattern here?

Hi Magnolia, This is the link I followed: Heidi Bears: African Flower Hexagon Crochet Tutorial

there are others on Ravelry - but many link back to the African translation :-) At first it was hard to follow this picture tutorial - but after making 2 or 3 the directions are pretty simply to memorize. I'd love to see yours if you make some!!

Thanks, Tammy! I literally get lost on Ravelry and Pinterest both. Computer illeterate. If it doesn't jump off the moniter and slap me on the hand, I miss it. LOL Lawana

That is funny! I have to save everything I like to "my favorites" on Ravelry, and I had to add Pinterest to my favorite bar because I could never figure out how to get to my account, much less be able to log in!
