My niece had an idea that the hexagons for my summer blanket also could be a bag. So I had to try to make one. In case someone else wants a bag like this I'll show you what I did.
Du treng altså 26 sekskantar.Dei skal heklast/syast saman som dette
You'll need 26 hexagons. Crochet/sew them together like this. The coloured edges go together. Red on red, blue on blue. The green edges are the corners. Those hexagons are folded.
Slik ser hjørna ut (dei grøne linjene).
This is the corner (green on the diagram).
Hekle ein kant med fastmasker rundt kanten oppe. Hekle 2 sm i hjørna. Crochet a row of sc round the opening. Crochet 2 together in the corners.
Hankar: hekle 8 fm i kanten midt på dei 4 hank-sekskantane. Hekle 45 omg. Handles: Crochet 8 sc in the top of the hexagon. Crochet 45 rows.
Sy saman 2 og 2.
Sew two together
Brett hankane på langs og sy saman til ca 15 omg frå start.
Fold and sew until 15 rows from start.
Lag for til veska dersom du ønsker det.
Make a lining if you want one.
Eg sydde på foret for hand.
Attach the lining, I did it by hand.
Ta-da!
Er det mogleg å skjønne dette, tru? Spør gjerne dersom noko er uklart :)
Please ask if you have any questions :)

Wow, I love your bag, it's so colorful! What a great idea from your niece. Thank you for the tutorial!
SvarSlettKjempeflott ide til alle bomullsrestene som hoper seg opp. For en humørspreder å ha over skuldra høst og vinterstid. Denne fikk jeg skikkelig lyst til å prøve meg på. takk for god forklaring.
SvarSlettÅ, så artig ide. Kjempefint resultat. Eg lurte litt på kva du trengte 21, eller var det 22 lappar, til. Einaste eg kom på var å laga ball, men då treng ein nok ikkje så mange lappar. Veit du om oppskrift på sekskantar ligg på nettet?
SvarSlettDersom de søker på hexagons vil de finne ein del oppskrifter.
SvarSlettHer er det nokre : http://www.crochetpatterncentral.com/directory/smaller_motifs_squares.php
SIdan sekskantane eg har brukt kjem frå ei bok kan eg ikkje legge oppskrifta på dei ut her. Men har du hekla litt før skulle det vere mogleg å finne fram til mønsteret ved å sjå på bilda. (Det gjorde eg i starten...)
PS. Fann oppskrift på sekskantane eg har brukt her: http://sunshinescreations.vintagethreads.com/2007/08/j-is-for.html

This tutorial is great! I have seen several hexi bags out in the blogosphere inspired by your beautiful bag. Hope you don't mind I will be sharing one of your photos and a link back here for the tutorial at www.tangledhappy.blogspot.com next week. Thank you for sharing this. Happy New Year!
SvarSlettHi I just found your wonderful blog, this bag you made is lovely, thank you for the tutorial, I am going to make one, how has yours lasted and would you of made any changes since making it.
SvarSlettLynda.
Hi! My bag has lasted all right, but then I don't use it to carry very heavy stuff. As you can see in the photo,the lining in the bag didn't cover the top halves of the hexagons where the handles are attached. I added lining to those halves too, because the top of the hexagons started to stretch. That's all the changes I've made. Good luck in meaking it!
SvarSlettThank you for replying and the extra information, I am enjoying making the crochet hexagons and looking forward to using my new tote bag.
SvarSlettLynda.
