Emerald Opulence is a free hexagon crochet blanket pattern. It is a lovely relaxing pattern for a stunning crochet blanket to complement your home.

The seasons are definitely changing. The cooler weather is on its way and I am not mad about getting all the woolly goodness out of the wardrobe.

While going through the sample box of all the crochet goodness, I came across this hexagon crochet blanket.

My Emerald Opulence Blanket was a design I made a while ago for a crochet magazine. It was a design I was super proud of and still use to this day!

Designing for crochet magazines is a little different. You are given certain guidelines on projects, style, colours and theme of the issue.

I have to admit, if I was designing a blanket for myself or for the blog, I would never choose these colours. BUT… that is what was so fun about designing to certain guidelines.

It pushes you out of your comfort zone using colours and style you would not normally choose.

Surprisingly, it results in something completely new and exciting which you will enjoy so much!

Hexagon Crochet Blanket Design Process

This super warm and cosy hexagon crochet blanket is made of 133 crochet hexagons. I know that might sound like an awful lot but trust me, the pattern is great to work on.

It is an easy and relaxing crochet motif pattern. Before you know it, you will have a stack of these cute hexagons that will form your blanket.

I fancied elevating this design to create something cosy, classy and a statement piece for your home decor.

Hence why I added a tassel into each corner chain space of the hexagons on the edge. These add a fun element.

Yarn I Used For My Hexagon Crochet Blanket

For my Emerald Opulence hexagon crochet blanket I used Cascade 220 Superwash yarn. It is a lovely yarn to work with that comes in a wide range of colours.

As the name also suggests, the yarn washes really well. This is especially important for blankets as you might need to wash them quite often.
