FREE PATTERN Hexagon Motif Blanket (Great for scrap yarn)

So this is a pattern my sister and I co-wrote.  It is a melding of 2 patterns.  It is ideal for all those bits and peices of scrap yarns left over from other projects.  What I love about this, is there no sit down and spend hours of time attaching all those individual shapes.  YOU ATTACH AS YOU GO!  :)  We designed it over 10 years ago, and now, for the first time ever, I have committed it to text and am now sharing it with you for FREE!  ENJOY!!

All the various scraps of yarn, I always try to make it so one yarn isn't ever touching itself side-to-side, but that's just my personal preference.

This red square, with the funky centers, is actually 3 bits of yarn in the center row.   You really can create a whole blanket out of ANY size scrap.  I like to tie all my tiny scraps together and make a ball out of those.

Hexagon Afghan
Skill Level:  Advanced - requires patience.

First Hexagon Motif:
Ch 4; join with a sl st to form a ring. 
Rnd 1:  Ch 3 (counts as 1st dc) 2 dc in ring, (ch 1, 3 dc in ring) 5 times.  ch 1, then join with sl-st in top of first ch 3.  
Rnd 2:  Ch 3 (counts as 1st dc) 1dc in next st, twice. working in ch-1 sp: dc, ch 2, dc. (dc in next st, 3 times. in next Ch-1 sp:  dc, ch 2, dc) 5 times.  sl-st to top of first ch 3. 
Rnd 3:  Ch 4 (counds as 1st dc and ch 1) skip next st.  dc in next st, twice.  working in Ch-2 sp:  dc, ch-3, dc.  (dc in next st, twice. ch 1, skip next st. dc in next st, twice. working in ch-2 sp: dc, ch-3, dc) 5 times. dc in next st.  join to top of 3rd ch.  Fasten Off.  Weave in end. 

Second Hexagon Motif:
work rounds 1 and 2 for first motif.   
Rnd 3: Ch 4 (counts as 1st dc and ch 1) skip next st. dc in next st, twice.  working in ch-2 space:  dc, ch-1.  with wrong sides together, sc in Ch-3 space of first motif. ch-1, back to 2nd motif: dc in  same ch 2 sp, dc in next st, twice. skip next dc on motif in progress - sc in  next ch-1 space on 1st work motif. back to 2nd motif:  dc in next st, twice. dc in ch 2 sp, ch 1.  Pick up 1st motif again: sc in next ch-3 space. ch 1.  back to 2nd motif: dc in same ch-2 space.  First Side join complete!  (dc in next st, twice. ch 1, skip next st. dc in next st, twice. working in ch-2 sp: dc, ch-3, dc) 4 times. dc in next st. join to top of 3rd ch.

Third Motif (and all others):
When attaching a 3rd motif to first two, you would need to attach along 2 sides instead of just one, when you get to the corners, you will want to SC into the side of the corner SC from the second motif, for a smoothest corner.  
Edging:  Rnd 1:   With Right Side facing, attach in any st; ch 1, work 1 rnd of SC evenly around, increasing at outer points, and decreasing at inner points to keep work flat; join to first SC. 
Rnd 2:  Ch 3, work 1 rnd dc increasing and decreasing at points as before, to keep work flat.
