This hexagon crochet pattern is super popular and you can see why! Don’t miss the fun projects you can make with a simple geometric shape.
If you’re tired of making Granny Squares it might just be time to switch things up a little and try one of these fabulous hexagons instead!
They do require concentration but if you’re willing to put in the time you can turn a whole pile of them into something gorgeous.
They’re a perfect scrap buster too!
If you use a 4mm hook then you’ll end up with a hexagon that’s about the size of your hand (approximately 6xm on each straight side or 11 cm from point to point).
Lucy’s pattern has lots of photographs to walk you through the step by steps, just make sure you read each step through a couple of times before you start.
Oh and just in case you don’t know how to crochet a bobble stitch I found this video really helpful.
