To make
this blanket you first need to make all the hexagons and half
hexagons and then join them together before adding a border.
I used just
under 600g Stylecraft Special DK (450g of white and 150g of colours). And a
4.5mm hook.
Please note

African Flower Hexagon
There are
lots of charts online for the African Flower. Most of them are basically the
same. There are 2 differences between most of them and my version. One is on round
5 where I only crochet into the back loops. And the other is that I have 2 rounds
of dc.
Here is my version:
Each flower
has its own 3 colours (Centre, Petals & Outline). The flowers are then made
into hexagons using the main blanket colour (White).
