This pattern was created to make a blanket for a girl that was attacked terribly. I wanted to do something special for her.
Read more about it 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 plain one. Pattern is here
This pattern is available to everyone for free. But I ask you not to share it, or claim it as your own, but feel free to share the link from here. I also ask you to please think about bullying, and the terrible effect it has on people, while making it
