Hexagons&Puff Stitches

This is part one of my hexagon blanket! I even have a couple videos to help with the process! I picked this yarn up at my local Michaels. I fell in love with the color and the softness of it. I couldn't wait to put it my stash. I first worked it up as a poncho but then frogged the whole thing and made hexagons. Here's the finished product! Isn't it lovely?
