Knit and Crochet Hexagon Projects: Afghans
Even though these throws are all made of the same shape, the projects all look completely different! Using different colors, stitch patterns, and sizes, you can personalize your afghan to match your decor. As you can see from just the small selection in the image above, no two designs have to be the same. It’s just like with any other motif – a circle is a circle and a square is a square but when you knit or crochet you realize that there are so many different ways to make both of those things.

An easy baby blanket is made out of one hexagon made large enough to wrap around a baby. What a cute idea! Of course, you could also make a blanket out of matching hexagons or complementary ones. And yet, because it’s a baby blanket, it’ll still work up relatively quickly as compared to a larger hexagon afghan. Baby blankets make great gifts and it’s fun to be able to create one that’s different from most. Hexagons do that.
