Bloom Forever

The pattern Bloom Forever is rather easy, relaxing and creates a nice textured continuous flower and still it’s a gender neutral one. You can use this pattern to create as large roundish hexagon as you wish or to join smaller hexagon or flower motifs into a bigger project.
The pattern will look gorgeous if you use ombre, self striping yarn, one or several solid colors.
