Let's crochet the Snowflake Hexagon Mosaic Crochet Blanket together. And if you love snow, check out the Snowman Amigurumi Doll Free Pattern or the Craft An Easy Granny Square Snowflake Blanket.
The fun part of the Snowflake Hexagon Mosaic Crochet Blanket is that is worked in pieces and then later crocheted together, making it very travel-friendly and much easier to work on.
Each hexagon is worked up with just 2 colors in the classic mosaic style of just using one color per row, but instead of cutting your yarn after each row, you will work back across, eliminating the need to fasten off your yarn and all those extra tails to weave in. And if you love hexagons, then you might also fall in love with a bag that uses seven hexagon granny squares.

Color C: Mint
There is no need to fasten off colors when changing every two rows, simply carry it up the side. The border will be worked over these strands.
For this style of crochet, I do not chain 2 to make the 1 chain space as other patterns do. I simply chain 1 for each skipped square loosely and continue on.
If you want to hide your chains on the back of your work, to not be a choking/entablement risk, work the mdc around the chain stitches so that the chain is incorporated into the mdc.
This pattern is worked in pieces and joined together, similar to a quilt. Blocking pieces before joining is recommended.
Special Stitches:
mdc: A mosaic double crochet is worked as a double crochet stitch, but it will be worked into the
skipped stitch three rows below. This stitch will be worked on the front (or right sides) or the blanket.
How to read the colorwork instructions:
In the colorwork section Color A will be abbreviated as (A), and Color B as (B). Example: (B) x 9 = with Color B sc the next 9 stitches

Blocking and Border
To prepare each hexagon shape blocking is recommended. Find a large table or space to lay out each piece of the blanket in order as in pictured on last page.
To stitch the pieces together we will be first working in vertical rows, and then stitches the rows together with slip stitches. For a flat and seamless look, slip stitch in back loops only. Here is a video on how to get a great join:
Round 1: Using your border color, attach yarn at a corner and slip stitch around the outer edges of blanket, adding an extra stitch on the corners, join to first slip stitch.
Round 2: Ch 1, *sc in first, ch 1, skip 1; repeat * around with also placing an extra (sc, ch 1) in corner stitches, join with a slip stitch to first stich.
Round 3: Ch 1, *ch 1, skip 1, sc in next; repeat * around with also placing an extra (sc, ch 1) in corner stitches, join with a slip stitch to first stich.
Repeat rounds 2-3 five more times.
Fasten off and weave in ends. Enjoy your Snowflake Mosaic Blanket masterpiece!
