This week the weather has been way too hot. We’ve been indoors most of the time, and I’m keeping busy crocheting. I’ve been edging granny-squares, but I wanted to try my hand at something new.

I kept a hexagon pattern from yarn that I had purchased way back in January. I read through the pattern a few times, and I decided to give it a try.

Well my very first hexagon ended up being a pentagon. I kept at it though, and the next two turned out just right.

The hexagons take about the same amount of  time to crochet as a granny-square does.

I finished up ten of them, and laid them out in different patterns. I see another afghan in the works.

I made another ten hexagons yesterday, and I’ve got the pattern memorized. They are fun to make, and a great way to use up scrap yarn.

I know it is July, but I’m already thinking of making homemade gifts for Christmas. I think this hexagon afghan would make a nice gift for my Mom. Time to get back to the craft table, and get back to work.
