Intro:

The original version of the Coastline Sunburst Hexie Blanket Pattern was all about sandy coastlines and sun dried driftwood. This version though; Canadian, coast to coast to coast and Muskoka vibes only. I’m loving this palette from The Frosted Stitch. The Made in Canada Collection is perfect for summer and cottage decor projects.

I truly hope you enjoy this relaxing make. With a wonderfully curated selection of colours, no colour changes and motifs that are packable—this project promises to be the bring-a-long staple. Join them all up later with a continuous join as you go for hexagons and you’ve got yourself the perfect project to relax with this summer. Happy Crocheting :)

Pattern Notes

Gauge will affect yarn quantities, please adjust hook size to meet gauge. To ensure you meet the gauge listed on Page 1 of the pattern, please leave only a 4” starting tail, 4” ending tail, and that each large sunburst weighs 10g or less. If your sunbursts weigh more or are bigger than the gauge listed on Page 1, then YOU WILL RUN OUT OF YARN. Go down in hook size (as many as needed!!) if your sunbursts are too big. It will not affect the overall size of your blanket but will ensure you have enough yarn to finish your project. It is not the responsibility of the yarn dyer to provide you with more yarn to finish your blanket if you run out. Gauge is IMPORTANT.

In some cases, the video tutorials have been used for other patterns. Please follow the yarn recommendations, hook size and stitch counts in the written pattern- the videos are only meant as visual guides.

***While I have tried my best to capture the true colours of this yarn (white room, natural lighting), please note that each screen varies. To see the TRUE colours of each skein in this collection, please see the listings at thefrostedstitch.ca
Ch 2 counts as DC throughout.
Please note that the differences in yarn quantities above depict differences in tension and possible skein variances.
Blanket is constructed using CJAYG, where each sunburst is turned into a hexagon while joining the next sunburst in the blanket. If you choose to join your blanket a different way-please note yarn quantities will differ (you’ll need more).

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

With RS of sunbursts face up, lay out all sunbursts 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 11 across to hexagon number 1. The second row will start with hexagon number 22 and be worked across to hexagon number 12.
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.
