Safaia Hexagon - Free Crochet Pattern | Creative Crochet Workshop #freecrochetpattern #crochet #crochetalong #hexagon @creativecrochetworkshop

Difficulty Level/Skill Required: Easy
Basic stitches in simple variations, simple repeats, color changes, shaping and finishing.

You will need to know basic stitches like the DC (double crochet).

Materials
Hook – 3, 75 mm (F)
Scissors
Yarn needle

Yarn:
Nurturing Fibres – Eco-Cotton DK (50 grams/136 yards/119 meters)
Weight – DK (11 wpi) 3: Light.

Yarn Substitute:
Using the same type of yarn throughout the project is recommended. The pattern suggests DK yarn (Weight – DK (11 wpi) 3: Light Worsted), but you are not limited to this type of yarn. Any yarn can be used if you take into consideration your sizing for the project will differ.

Tension | Gauge
With yarn listed and 3, 75 mm (F) hook hexagons should measure approx. 13 cm (5 inches) in diameter. However, gauge is NOT necessary for this project to be perfect but your hexagons need to be all the same size.

Size
Hexagon – 5 x 5 inch (13 x 13 cm)

Remember – if you use/choose a different yarn weight/hook size your blanket will be a different size!
