This pattern was created to make a blanket for a girl who had been badly bullied. I wanted to do something special for her.
Read more about it here: You can read more about the story behind the blanket here: https://craftcove.blogspot.com/2018/01/hexes-against-bullies.html
First I made this pattern, but decided it might be too much for every hexagon to be the same, and some people might find it too difficult. So I created another, simpler one. The pattern is here here
This pattern is available to everyone for free. Please don’t share the pattern itself or claim it as your own, but feel free to share the link to this page. I also ask you to think about bullying and the terrible effect it can have on people while making it.
