Honeycomb Web Blanket (UK)

Honeycomb Web Blanket by Agrarian Artisan

What is Being Made

The Honeycomb Web Blanket is a crocheted throw blanket featuring a geometric design inspired by natural hexagonal forms. The blanket is constructed from multiple hexagon motifs that interlock to create a cohesive web-like pattern, complemented by a finished border. This intermediate-level crochet project uses a sophisticated color palette of seven coordinating yarn shades to build visual depth and dimension throughout the piece.

Design Structure and Composition

The blanket pattern comprises five distinct hexagon patterns plus one half-hexagon, all arranged to weave together into their own interconnected web. The designer, Agrarian Artisan, developed this blanket concept from a hexagonal motif originally created for a cushion project, expanding the simple geometric form into a complete blanket design. The hexagons are strategically positioned to create a flowing, organic appearance despite their structured geometric shapes.

Crochet Techniques and Stitches

This pattern employs fundamental crochet techniques suitable for intermediate crafters. The hexagon motifs showcase the simplicity and textural appeal that drew the designer to the original motif concept. The construction method involves working individual hexagon shapes that are then assembled together, with careful attention to how each piece connects to its neighbors to form the unified web pattern. A border is added upon completion to frame and finish the blanket edges.

Materials and Yarn Specifications

The Honeycomb Web Blanket uses CoopKnits Socks Yeah! yarn, a premium blend of 75% Merino Wool and 25% Nylon. This fiber composition provides durability, warmth, and elasticity ideal for blanket projects. The yarn is supplied in 50g skeins with 212 meters per skein, classified as 4-ply (DK weight).

The color palette consists of seven carefully selected shades:

• Danburite (105) – Pale grey (PG) – 2 skeins
• Larimar (119) – Pale blue (PB) – 3 skeins
• Chryso (108) – Pale blue/green (PBG) – 4 skeins
• Beryl (107) – Blue/green (BG) – 5 skeins
• Topaz (113) – Deep blue (DB) – 6 skeins
• Malachite (110) – Green (G) – 4 skeins
• Melanite (121) – Deep grey (DG) – 1 skein

The total yarn requirement spans a gradient from cool greys and pale blues through deeper teals and greens, creating a sophisticated ombré effect across the finished blanket.

Tools Required

Crafters will need a 3.0mm (US D/3) crochet hook to work this pattern. A yarn needle is essential for weaving in ends and assembling the hexagon motifs. Stitch markers are listed as optional but recommended for tracking pattern repeats and maintaining accuracy throughout the construction process.

Difficulty Level and Skill Requirements

This pattern is rated as intermediate difficulty, making it suitable for crocheters with foundational skills who are ready to tackle multi-part projects involving motif assembly. The geometric hexagon shapes require consistent tension and attention to stitch counts, while the color work and assembly process demand organizational skills and pattern-reading ability.
