Hexathrow
Very simple and very fun! Hexathrow is a throw made out of hexagons which are knit individually, and then seamed together. Each hexagon is worked in the round from the cast-on edge to the center. The project is easily portable, and chunky yarn in beautiful colors makes the knitting fly by. Arrange the hexagons in whatever pattern you like! Throw in a few extra skeins for a hexablanket!
Skill level: intermediate. Skills needed: working in the round, decreases and increases, and seaming. The edging is simple crochet.
Both chart and written instructions are provided.
