NOTES
Blanket is made of 94 Hexagons and 10 Half Hexagons. There are 2 patterns for the Half Hexagon, which determine if they are joined to the right-hand edge or left-hand edge.
There are 3 Stitch Diagrams on page 95, which you can refer to when making the motifs. All rounds are read anticlockwise on the Hexagon Chart. For the Half Hexagons, all rows begin at the turning chain.
