Intro:
Hygge (pronouced “Hue-guh”) is a Scandinavian word meaning everything that is cozy, happy, special, warm and nice. It’s used as a noun, a verb and an adjective! I fell in love with the idea of hygge after reading The Little Book of Hygge: The Danish Way to Live Well by Meik Wiking.
The original Hygge Burst Hexie Blanket Pattern encompasses all the warmth, coziness and happiness that you can get from a blanket. I wanted the same feeling with this pattern—but in a winter wonderland vibe…
I hope you love it! Happy crocheting everyone :)

Pattern Notes
Gauge will affect yarn quantities, please adjust hook size to meet gauge.
Ch 2 counts as DC throughout.
In some cases, the video tutorials have been used for other patterns. Please follow the yarn recommendations, hook size and stitch counts in the written pattern- the videos are only meant as visual guides.
The Colour Legend is my attempt to provide you with colour accurate photos/generic colour names that you can use if you’d like to find an alternative yarn (the actual yarn name and number code will be provided below in brackets).
I used 10 colours from the Studies in the Arctic Collection for the hexagons in the blanket. Make 11 hexies from each skein weighing about 9g each.
Blanket is constructed using CJAYG, where each hexagon is joined to the next while completing another round on each motif. If you choose to join your blanket a different way-please note yarn quantities will differ (you’ll need more).
