Intro

The Sedona Starburst Hexie Blanket is a fresh take on the Finley Starburst Hexie Blanket—this one contains the same starburst we know and love, with the same join BUT we’ve changed up the layout. This gives an opportunity to make some fun zig zag stripes which works up into an awesome fade. You guys are going to have so much fun playing with the colours on this one. Can’t wait to see all the faded and fun hexie stripes you all come up with :)

Pattern Finley’s Starburst Hexie:

Ch 5, sl st into 5th ch from hook to create centre ring.
Ch 2, work 1 DC into centre ring, ch 1 (this counts as first cl st).
Work 11 [2 DC cl] into centre ring (12 cl sts).
Join rnd with sl st to the ch-1 sp between the first and second cl sts at beginning of rnd, do not fasten off…

Round 2

Ch 2, work a [4 DC cl] into same sp, ch 2.
Work a [4 DC cl, ch 2] into each ch-1 sp around (12 cl sts).
Join rnd with sl st into the first ch-2 sp of the rnd (not into the top of the cl st), do not fasten off.

Round 3

Ch 2, work [2 DC, ch 1, 3 DC] into same sp.
*Work 3 DC into next ch-2 sp.
Work [3 DC, ch 1, 3 DC] in next ch-2 sp.*
Repeat from * to * 4 more times.
Work 3 DC into next ch-2 sp.
Join rnd with sl st into the top of the first DC (not the ch-2), Fasten off.

**Please see video tutorial below on how to crochet the Starburst Hexie:

**Only Complete the following Round 4 IF you do NOT plan on using the CJAYG to join the hexies. Round 4 is written out for anyone who wishes to seam their hexies together separately at the end of their project. **PLEASE NOTE: THIS WILL REQUIRE MORE JOINING YARN.

Round 4

Join Colour K into ch-1 sp and ch 2.
Work [1 DC, ch 1, 2 DC] into same sp.
*Work 3 DC into the sp between granny shells of the previous rnd, twice.
Into the next ch-1 sp work [2 DC, ch 1, 2 DC].*
Repeat from * to * 4 more times.
Work 3 DC into the sp between granny shells of the previous rnd, twice.
Join rnd with sl st into the top of the first DC (not the ch-2), Fasten off.

Assembling Blanket Hexies (CJAYG):

With RS of hexagons face up, lay out all motifs in the arrangement from the colour graph above.

Using joining Colour K; start in top right-hand corner to join hexagons across the rows.
Example: First row will be joined from hexagon letter A across to hexagon letter J. The second row will start with hexagon letter A and be worked across to hexagon letter J.
Following along with the video tutorial, crocheting hexagons together until blanket is complete. Please note: the video tutorial was used to join Sunburst hexagons which are slightly larger than these Starbursts. There will be one less granny shell along each edge of your Starburst hexies. Everything else remains the same.
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.
