Flower blanket / blommekombers

This is a pattern Charlene showed me. She knitted the leaves in plain and purl, but then it curls up. So I decided to knit it just with plain.

To make ONE hexagon:

• Cast on 10 stitches.
• Knit 2 plain rows
• For the 3rd row and every 3rd row thereafter: increase one stitch at the beginning and the end of the row. (12 stitches)
• Continue until you have 20 stitches.
• Knit 2 plain rows.
• This row and every 3rd row thereafter: knit 2 stitches together at the beginning and at the end of the row.
• Continue until you have 10 stitches.
• Knit 1 plain row.
• Cast off
• Remember to leave long string for working hexagons together.

 

Make 6 hexagon in e.g. red and 1 in yellow for 1 flower. Now use any colour you like and knit many flowers. I have no clue how many flowers to knit - I will tell you when I have made a blanket like this.

Then, terrible, but you leave the flower edges, i.e. the blanket won't have a straight lined edge
(unless of course you knit semi-hexagons and work them in)
