Solid Hexagon Baby Blanket

The solid hexagon baby blanket pattern is a good choice if you are looking for something less traditional (i.e., not a square or rectangle).  You can make this blanket as large as you desire simply by adding more rounds.  My blanket is made by working 55 rounds but you can easily increase the size while still preserving the pattern.
