Framed Hexagon Afghan Square Pattern – Day One of The Blog Hop Crochet Along

I am really excited to kick off The Blog Hop Crochet Along with my first aghan square pattern – my Framed Hexagon Square. Nine other bloggers and I are each sharing two new patterns for 12″ afghan squares. Crochet along with us and you will have a gorgeous new afghan just in time for the holiday season!

Here’s how it is going to work:

• Every day (M-F) a new square pattern will be posted on one of our ten blogs.
• You can join in the fun by crocheting each day’s square on that day whenever you have time.
• Share your progress and post photos of your squares in our facebook group.
• By the end of the Crochet Along you will have twenty 12″ squares all ready to be pieced together into a beautiful afghan just in time for the holiday season.
• Finally, we will be hosting a fabulous giveaway starting November 21. You could win Lion Brand yarn to make your own afghan, $100 CASH money, OR our COMPLETED AFGHAN! That’s right, I am going to be piecing all of our squares together and shipping it out to one very lucky winner.
