Memories are such an interesting concept.
They can bring joy, sorrow, laughter, and tears.

As makers we often have memories of
past projects associated with certain yarns.

This blanket was designed to use up
left over scrap yarns from past projects.

They’re crafted into little sunshine shaped hexagons,
Which are joined into your own kaleidoscope of colors,

To bring you joy, and sunshine on a day when it’s needed:
A Solar Kaleidoscope.

No matter your learning style or skill level, you can make this pattern! This pattern includes:

Row by row written instructions
An exclusive step-by-step video tutorial that will guide you through making the hexis and joining them with a Join As You Go border technique.
Two pages of photo tutorials for the border in case videos aren’t how you prefer to learn.
The yardage for this blanket is estimated based on the assumption that the center circles use fingering weight held double, and the border uses dk weight held single.

This blanket could easily use any weight of yarn you’d like.

See the third photo for yarn requirements and blanket sizing - it’s all in a nifty table for you!

This pattern includes written instructions only for optional half-hexagons if you want them for the edges.
