Dreaming of Persia? Hexagon motifs are grafted together to create a complex web of colorwork, all in eastern inspired motifs.

Please note this uses US terminology and measurements.

This pattern includes separate charts for the 3 colourways!

This is not a quick project, but it is very enjoyable. Each hexagon is knit in the round, from the centre out, the colourwork is always on the right side, and the border also is knit onto each hexagon as you go. As you finish hexagons, you can begin to graft them together.

Not ready to commit to this huge of a project, but you love it too much to move on? Try picking your favorite two hexagons and stitch them together into a throw cushion.

See the photo on this page for the chart showing the approximate yardage of each colour. This will be helpful if you are planning to substitute a yarn with different yardage than the stated yarn, Palette. Should you decide to change up the hexagons, the pattern includes the approximate yardage of each colour for each hexagon so you can calculate an accurate idea of how much yarn to buy.

As it happens, this is also a perfect project for using up balls of multicolour sock yarn! Just pick a solid for the background, and work all the colors in the multi yarn instead.

Please note that the “7500 yds” (6858 meters) above includes the partial balls that will be leftover of each color. The actual yardage used in the blanket is about 5200 yds (4755 meters).

Each hexagon is charted and the coloruwork is written out, so you can use whichever you prefer. There are also a second set of charts adjusted for black and white printing, and step by step photos showing how to graft the blanket together included in the pattern.

This pattern can also be found on Ravelry with links to tutorials [Visual Learner? check out this You-tube to see how it works!] and the Errata which is also below.

Errata:

in the border written directions
Row 11: “{S1, p1, k1 {p1, k1} 26 times, k1} as many times as needed, k1.” Should read: {S1, k1, {p1, k1} 27 times, k1} as many times as needed, k1.
Row 15: is “S1, k1, p1, {k1, p1} 28 times” Should have 29 in place of 28

Errata: On chart 2, row 42, there is a white box where it ought to be orange. It is on the right side of the crown shaped motif. Palette has 231 yards per ball, not 213 as in pattern.
Border instructions, row 10 should be repeat 27, not 26 as stated (this is in written instructions only, not in chart).
Chart 3, row 11 has the increase symbol missing on one side.
