Intro:
The original version of the Coastline Sunburst Hexie Blanket Pattern was all about sandy coastlines and sun dried driftwood. This version though; earthy, windswept and sun-kissed is the vibe. I’m loving this palette from Hue Loco Yarn. The Terracotta Collection is perfect for summer and home decor projects.
I truly hope you enjoy this relaxing make. With a wonderfully curated selection of colours, no colour changes and motifs that are packable—this project promises to be the bring-a-long staple. Join them all up later with a continuous join as you go for hexagons and you’ve got yourself the perfect project to relax with this summer. Happy Crocheting :)

The Yarn…
The Terracotta Collection is a set of 10 colours from Hue Loco Yarn. This particular collection is from a couple years ago, but has been brought back :)
I used the 10 colours to make up all the main sunbursts of the blanket. I tried to use up as much yarn as possible, to get the biggest blanket possible. Final quantities of each colour are listed below. Note: any differences in quantities are due to natural skein variances and personal tension. I made 10 sunbursts with 9 of the colours and 9 sunbursts of one colour for a total of 99 sunbursts.
For the background and join of the blanket I used a colour from Hue Loco’s in stock Semisolids lineup: Linen. If you’re looking for an alternative/more affordable option I would recommend the colour “Nutmeg” in Swish DK yarn from WeCrochet/Knit Picks. Every year during their Black Friday sale I stock up on DK and Worsted weight yarns from WeCrochet because they’re perfect for joining scarves, blankets, cowls, baby blankets-you name it! I always have a large stash on hand and it hasn’t failed me yet.

Pattern Notes
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.
Gauge will affect yarn quantities, please adjust hook size to meet gauge.
Ch 2 counts as DC throughout.
Please note that the differences in yarn quantities above depict differences in tension and possible skein variances.
Blanket is constructed using CJAYG, where each sunburst is turned into a hexagon while joining the next sunburst in the blanket. If you choose to join your blanket a different way-please note yarn quantities will differ (you’ll need more).

***Please see video tutorial below for how to crochet the Large Sunburst Hexie Motif:
Assembling Sunbursts with Continuous Join-As-You-Go (CJAYGO)
With RS of sunbursts face up, lay out all sunbursts in the arrangement from the colour graph above.
Using Colour A, start in top right-hand corner to join hexagons across the rows.
Example: First row will be joined from hexagon number 11 across to hexagon number 1. The second row will start with hexagon number 22 and be worked across to hexagon number 12.
Following along with the video tutorial, crocheting hexagons together until blanket is complete.
Once back to the start of the blanket (in the top right-hand corner)- DO NOT FASTEN OFF.
You are now ready to start border Round 1.
***Please see the YouTube video tutorial below for the CJAYG method of joining these sunbursts:
Border
**Continued from CJAYG…

SC in same st and each st along.
Work a SC dec in the valleys of each hexagon and 2 SC in each ch-1 sp of the peaks.
