Intro:

Hygge (pronouced “Hue-guh”) is a Scandinavian word meaning everything that is cozy, happy, special, warm and nice. It’s used as a noun, a verb and an adjective! I fell in love with the idea of hygge after reading The Little Book of Hygge: The Danish Way to Live Well by Meik Wiking.

The original Hygge Burst Blanket Pattern encompasses all the warmth, coziness and happiness that you can get from a blanket. I wanted the same feeling with this pattern—but brighter and fun for summer (hellloooooo neon tweed!!) Rest assured, this won’t be the last colour combo I put together for this blanket. It was a blast to make and I absolutely cannot wait to put together a colour scheme using Wool of the Andes Tweed for autumn :)

For now though, I hope you’re all loving the light-hearted colour combos of these Hexagons. Happy crocheting everyone :)

Pattern Notes

**About the yarn: This is a lightly twisted, roving style yarn that is super soft and wonderful to work with. However, it will felt and pill very easily. Occasional extra care (like de-linting, or gently shaving) will be required.
Gauge will affect yarn quantities, please adjust hook size to meet gauge.
Ch 2 counts as DC throughout.
The Colour Legend is my attempt to provide you with colour accurate photos/generic colour names that you can use if you’d like to find an alternative yarn (the actual yarn name and number code will be provided below in brackets).
Blanket is constructed using CJAYG, where each hexagon is joined to the next while completing another round on each motif. If you choose to join your blanket a different way-please note yarn quantities will differ (you’ll need more).

***Please see video tutorial below for how to crochet Seamless Sunburst Hexagon:

Assembling Motifs with Continuous Join-As-You-Go (CJAYGO)

With RS of hexagons face up, lay out all motifs in the arrangement from the colour graph above.
Using joining colour; start in top right-hand corner to join hexagons across the rows.
Example: First row will be joined from hexagon number 10 across to hexagon number 1. The second row will start with hexagon number 20 and be worked across to hexagon number 11.
Following along with the video tutorial, crocheting hexagons together until blanket is complete.
Once back to the start of the blanket (in the top right-hand corner)- DO NOT FASTEN OFF.
You are now ready to start border Round 1.
