If you’re partial to a bit of crochet to pass the time (granny squares anyone?), this flower hexagon motif might be for you.
It’s not a big commitment, but you will no doubt still reap many benefits from an afternoon of crochet.
Here’s how to crochet flower hexagon motifs

You will also need a 4.5mm crochet hook.
Tension: Flower hexagon motif measures 12cm across from point to point, using 4.5mm hook.
