Decke HEXE by Pan-Design

What is Being Made

Decke HEXE is a crocheted blanket or throw designed by Pan-Design. This downloadable PDF pattern provides complete instructions for creating a hexagonal-motif blanket using a structured, repeating stitch pattern that builds outward from a central ring.

Craft and Primary Technique

This project is worked entirely in crochet, making it suitable for crafters of all levels, particularly beginners. The pattern uses a foundational ring construction method, allowing makers to choose between a traditional chain-and-join ring or a magic ring technique for starting. The blanket grows in concentric rounds, with each row expanding the hexagonal structure through strategic stitch placement and spacing.

Stitches Used

The Decke HEXE pattern employs fundamental crochet stitches that build a solid, structured fabric:

• Luftmasche (Lm) – Chain stitch, used for foundational loops and spacing between stitch groups
• Stäbchen (Stb) – Treble crochet or similar tall stitch that forms the primary fabric structure
• Steigeluftmaschen (StgLm) – Turning chains that serve as replacement stitches at the beginning of rows, maintaining consistent stitch count
• Kettmasche (Km) – Slip stitch, used to join rounds and connect rows seamlessly

The pattern uses these stitches in coordinated groups—typically working 2 stitches together with chain spaces between them—to create the geometric hexagonal shaping that defines this blanket.

Materials

The Decke HEXE is designed with flexibility in yarn selection. The pattern specifies 4-ply yarn weight and requires approximately 570 meters of yarn length for the example shown. The designer's sample was created using Bobbel Libelle yarn by Lady Dees Traumgarne, a variegated yarn that adds visual interest to the finished blanket. Crafters may substitute any 4-ply yarn of their choice, adjusting final dimensions based on yarn characteristics and personal gauge.

Pattern Format and Additional Information

This is a downloadable PDF pattern that includes a complete crochet chart (Häkelschrift) on the final page, allowing both written instruction and visual reference for stitch placement. The pattern is presented in German and uses standard crochet abbreviations for easy reference during work. The design is the intellectual property of Pan-Design, an independent designer.
