Hexagonal Rosy Motif
By Megan Mills
This Hexagonal Rosy Motif is the perfect basis for
a floral afghan. Attach these hexagons together to
create a gortgeous and elegant crocheted afghan.
This floral afghan is sure to become a family
heirloom! Roses have long been a symbol of love,
so this Rosy Hexagonal Motif granny square
would make a great Valentines Day gift, or
Anniversary present for that special someone.
Cuddle up on the couch with this rose-inspired
pattern for years and years to come!
Each hexagon measures approximately 8
inches across.
MATERIALS:
Cleckheaton Machinewash 8 Ply Crepe. It is
grown and spun in Australia and has about
100m (110 yards) per ball. 1 x 50 gr in each of
burgundy (A), pink (B), green (C) and white
(D) or any colour-way of your choice in a
suitable Double Knitting (knitting worsted) yarn
will do as long as you love it. Youre making
an heirloom so you want to be sure it feels
good, looks good and lasts well!
Crochet hook, 1.5mm [US H-8]
1 Tapestry needle
GAUGE: I have given you the size I achieved with
this yarn. Your motif may vary in size but dont
worry about that. Aim for a motif that lies flat and
looks pretty and then just make as many as you
need to achieve the desired size for your project.
Special Stitches

loops on hook, yoh and draw through 3 loops on
hook).
4-dc: 4 dc bobbles (1 dc, 3 dc into bottom of this
dc, remove hook from loop and reinsert in first dc,
draw loop through, ch 1 tightly).
A Note on Joining-Motifs-As-You-Go
On the final round decide where you need to join
to another motif. Work the stitch youll want to join.
Drop the loop from the hook. Pull it up through the
top of the stitch you want to join it to on the other
motif. Work the next stitch on your current motif.
Repeat. You will get a very tidy attractive seam
that is as flexible as the rest of your work. You can
vary this if you like by pulling the loop down
through the top of the stitch you want to join to.
This produces the reverse effect and is very nice
in its own right. (Aha! If you just thought that this
must mean both sides of your work will look good
using this method you are right).
INSTRUCTIONS:
Pattern
Start with a ring made by wrapping the tail of the
yarn clockwise around your finger or thumb three
times. You will start the first of your chain by
drawing the working end up through the ring to
form the first loop. At the end of your first round
you can tighten the ring to the perfect size.
Round 1: With Colour A ch 3, 4 dc in ring, remove
hook from loop, insert hook in 3rd st of ch 3 and
draw loop through, ch1 tightly, ch 4, *5 dc in ring,
