Hexagon Pattern
I have at least a half a dozen projects going on. Since I have crochet ADD, I decided to start another one. I love hexagons and decided to come up with my own pattern.
Materials Yarn of your choice (I used worsted weight) Size G (4mm) hook Yarn needle to weave ends
Measurements about 3.25 to 3.5 inches (depending on your tension)
Pattern (US terminology)
Ch 4, Join with sl st, forming a ring
Round 1: Ch 3 (counts as first dc), 11 Dc into the ring. Make sure you crochet over the beginning tail. Join with sl st into top of first st. Pull tail tightly to close the hole. (12 dc)
Round 2: Ch 3, dc in same st, ch 1, (2 dc in next st, ch 1) around. Join with sl st to top of first st. (24 dc and 12 ch-1 spaces)
Round 3: Sl st over to the first ch-1 sp. Ch 3, dc in same sp, ch 3, 2 dc in same sp. 2 dc in next ch sp. (2 dc, ch 3, 2 dc in next ch-1 sp, 2 dc in next ch sp) around. Join with sl st. Sl st over to ch-3 space. (this will set you up to sew hexagons together). Cut tail leaving several inches for sewing.
When sewing together, whipstitch into the back loops of the hexagon. Sew from point to point. (This will be 10 stitches)
I like to use the tails of the work for sewing. Make sure after whipstitching together, you weave at least 3 inches into your work to secure the ends.
Just a note: This is a really simple pattern, not complex at all, so if there is another out there like this one or similar...it is purely coincidental.
If you have questions feel free to ask. I'll try to answer them. Have a great weekend!
