Week 16: Find a small crochet pattern, such as a square or motif, that has a stitch chart. Work the project from only the chart, without following any written instructions.
Understanding the differences between US and UK crochet terminology opens up so many new patterns to explore and crochet. One of my favorite sites for UK patterns is Drops Design.
However, instead of using a published pattern, I decided to design my own, Hexagon Potholder Pattern. I also combined both Challenges into one and created complete symbol charts of the Hexagon. I made pdf files in both US and UK crochet terminology. I've really enjoyed this as it's been awhile since I published a new pattern and it gave me some practice, especially with my crochet charting software. It's a simple design, but practical and useful. I hope you enjoy crocheting this project as much as I have. Enjoy!

Smart idea to design your own pattern! I am loving participating in these weekly challenges although this one was a stretch for me because I am just not at all a chart person! :)
