The Crochet Cuddles'n Clouds Hexagon Blanket is a super-fast baby blanket. Starting from the center and going out.
I intentionally used 2 different Bernat Blanket yarn balls that were oddballs. I didn't know what to do with just one ball of the variegated colour and I thought a fast baby blanket for charity might be a nice change.
Once the first colour was out and I couldn't go all the way around, I changed over to the vintage white and used all of that until the ball ran out.

Continue to grow out your hexagon until you are happy with the size. Below is how the sample was done.
Continue growing out your hexagon until you finish the first ball. I finished the colour when I knew I couldn’t get around a full round before switching. If you are using a solid colour or don’t care when the colour changes, you can use the first ball completely up.
Rnds 1 to 11 are Colour A. Rnds 12 to 16 are Colour B in the sample shown.
You can go as big as you prefer as the blanket will sit flat.
