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.
Each one only takes a tiny amount of yarn, so I can use all of these little balls
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!
I think it is gorgeous, and I have a container of yarn just like yours, I am thinking that may be a great way to use it up. Thank you Liz, the pattern is beautiful.
Hugs,
Meredith
I love it and thank you for so kindly sharing it with us. Xoxo
Thank you and you're welcome. It is a great way to use up scraps. I'm sure you would actually finish…hahaha. I just need to focus:)
You are welcome:)
pretty! i love all your scrap colors hexed together (what yarn is that, btw?). i was just wanting a new yarn scrap project so thank you!
Thank you and I am using all different brands. It's all worsted weight…KnitPicks, Lion Brand Vannas Choice, Caron, Patons. KnitPicks is my favorite.
and more that is from my LYS that I have no idea what it is:)
LOOOOVE these!

Hello Liz,
thanks so much … absolutely this kind of pattern I was look for! So I can scrap my yarns too :-).
Best regards from germany

I'm really liking your hexie pattern. I will give it a try and I like your little display too.
Looking forward to trying this – thanks for sharing 🙂
so beautiful http://differentcands.blogspot.kr/
Wonderful pattern. I don't have a large bourbon glass, but I do have a large martini glass! I am thinking this will be perfect!
pattern is great, I love the shape too. Definitely want to try this one. You might have already touched on this, I don't have any problems sewing parts together, but. How do you hide the end strings,I feel like I do it all wrong and sometimes they show their heads after some use. Love to hear your tips and tricks. Thanks Luna
thanks for sharing! love it, and the colours of yarn.
Adorable! Looking forward to giving this a try. Thanks for sharing!
Luna,
I always take a yarn needle and weave at least 3 inches into the work going in all directions. Make sure you don't just weave into a few stitches in a straight line, because it will definitely work itself out with wear.
You're welcome and thank you:)
I just love your pattern! I am trying to make one myself but having trouble with the whipstiching and getting them all put together. Can you help me with this please?
HI just found your blog through Ravelry and these are great! Lovely work. Please check out my blog at http://mix-ture43.typepad.com and my Facebook page MixTur43 would love to see you there. Will be following you to see what other amazing and lovely projects you do.
Thanks
Karen
Love it! Going to use this design for my next afghan!
I'll need to put some effort into figuring out what terms go with what type of stitch, but I can't wait to try these =)
I absolutely love this pattern but am a bit confused on the round 3 pattern. Is is 2dc, ch 3, 2dc in each of the chain 1 spaces and then followed by a single dc in each space in between? Somehow I ended up with an octagon on my last attempt….any suggestions for this beginner (and somewhat frustrated) crocheter?
Yeah it sounds like something happened there. Sorry for the late reply. You do 2 dc in between the (2dc, ch 3, 2 dc). Without seeing it, I'm not sure how you ended with an octagon. Hope this helps.
Very pretty and simple to do, once I had completed one. Great for tv crochet! My mind is racing with all sorts of great projects one could use this pattern for. mmm…….
Thanks for sharing this awesome pattern!

I like this Hexagon so much, that I've chosen it for the Crochet Mood Blanket 2014 (CAL) on FB! Thanx again!
I've been working on this and love the easiness so far. How many hexagons does it typically take for a afghan or lap blanket?
how can you achieve a bigger hexagon? I'm new to crocheting and wanted to try this pattern out for my first blanket. Would you just repeat round 3 until the desired size is achieved? Beautiful work; thanks
I used a larger needle to make them bigger. I do have a question can someone post the final blanket put together i'm struggling with how to connect them and getting a decent pattern layout.
silly question do you have any pics of sewing it together to help? I've never made an afghan before and would love the input
Hey I was wondering in row three when you say Ch 3, dc in same sp, ch 3, 2 dc in same sp. 2 dc in next ch sp, in terms of the 2 dc in the next ch sp, is this one of the 12 ch1 spaces or one of the 24 dc spaces we made before in the second row. Thanks for the pettern. please help
I'm making a whole bunch of these and placing them in a flower pattern. I'm making 2 flower blankets for my nieces 🙂 Love this pattern!
I'm working on a version of this that I slightly modified the pattern for, but ultimately I think they're close to the same size. I'm curious to know how many individual hexagons you made to put together a decent sized afghan.
Thank you so much this pattern was easy to follow 🙂
I think I made the same mistake here on my first go around, I'm a relative beginner and usually stick to videos – this was my first written pattern. The 2 dc, ch 3, 2 dc makes each side of a corner. Each side in the 3rd row had 3 groups of 2 dc's. Each corner is 2 dc, 3 ch, 2 dc. Trust the pattern, the last side you will only make 2 sets of dc's because the 3rd one was the first pair you did. I had to look at the pictures and then this clicked for me. I'm almost ready to sew mine together.
Did you do any blocking? If so what's your method? I think I'm going to need to.
CUTE! I might just have to learn to crochet….again.
Lovely, simple pattern…just my speed for this moment. Thank you for sharing your creativity 🙂
How man hexies did you make for a blanket?
how would you go about making half hexagons?
How do we make up a straight edge please? Thanks
Wonderful pattern! I only wish I'd found this before I made my mother's afghan last year.
I sat right down and tried yours out as soon as I read through it, to see if it laid down any flatter than the pattern I have. It does! Thank you for sharing!

I have started on this using a colour pack I bought using Stylecraft cosy pack. I can't thank you enough, it's quick, I can do it while watching the grandchildren etc. And above all it looks spectacular.
I will send a pic when I finish.
How would you make Half Hexagons?
never mind. i figured it out
Thank you for the pattern. Is there any way to square this afghan along each side so that a border could be added?
Would you be willing to share your hslf hexagon pattern? Please
I'd love the half-hex pattern if you're willing to share! Thinking of making a baby blanket for my niece that's due in April.
Crochet ADD! Lol, so there's a name for what I have?! I'm glad I'm not the only one. If only my work was as beautiful as yours..
Good morning… I am new to crochet and love this blanket!! Thank you! I'm wondering if you could help me though. I'm trying to do a half hexagon to make a straight edge and not being crafty I have no clue how to modify the pattern to make one. Is there any way you can help? Thank you again for the original pattern. Krissy
Can you make a video or something for the 3rd round I am SO lost
I am getting lost on the 3rd round. Can you please offer some guidance?
Kristen, I've never done this particular pattern, but I've made several afghans with "half" squares, circles, etc. I think you'd chain 3, then only do 5 (instead of 11) double crochet into the 1st ring, turn and just follow the pattern but with half the stitches for the next 2 rows? I'd love to make this but am sometimes too lazy to stitch up the pieces…lovely pattern, though 🙂
Hi, I'm beginner and I don't understand round 3, can you explain me it in a more simple way? Thanks
or a trifle bowl!
Lost on the 3rd too. I can usually figure it out after I try it, but not this time. I'd love any help. I thought my girls and I (5 and 8) could randomly make the hexagons and piece together when we have enough!
Round three is just alernating in each space either ( treble, treble, three chains, treble, treble) and in the next space (treble treble)
When you finish round two and join in up you will find you are not in one of the ch spaces you made during round two so just slip stitch across to there. Then chain three (this is your first tr) then follow the pattern as follows:
space one: tr (you've already done this by doing the chain three I talked about above), tr, three chain, tr, tr
Space two: tr tr
Space three: tr, tr, three chain, tr tr
Space four: tr, tr
Etc…
Hope that helps! Now if anyone has that elusive half hexagon pattern I'd be very grateful!

I think I've figured out the half hexagon pattern (bare in mind I'm canadian so I'll be writing in american terminology)
Ch 4 and join with a slip stitch
1. Ch3 and DC 6 into the circle (7 sts)
2. Ch3 and DC into same stitch, *Ch1 DC2 into next stitch* repeat until end of row
3. Ch3 and DC into same stitch, DC 2 into next gap, in next gap *DC 2, Ch3, DC 2*, DC 2 into next gap, in next gap *DC 2, Ch3, DC 2*, DC 2 into next gap, lastly DC2 into last stitch of last chain from previous row.
That should make a decent half hexagon! If you have any questions let me know!
Love this pattern! Glad I found your blog.
Crochet ADD, I laughed so hard…at myself…easy to follow, and the perfect choice to make – a little hexie in between sewing in thread ends on another project. The container of colorful yarn balls is an excellent illustration.
I too would like to know how one would do a border for all of the hexies sewn together. Thanks!
Do you have a picture of a completed blanket? I started making these over a year ago but stopped because I wasn't sure how it would look in the end.
I've made a blanket using this hexagon pattern. I posted a picture to my tumblr page.

HI! I am learing to crochet and I have started making these cute hexagons 🙂 But I am having trouble with them curling…is there anything I should or shouldn't be doing? I have loosened my tension and all the stitches are correct…HELP!
Thank You 🙂
Oh live it I make that too I save a lot yarns leftovers ha thank you share it
Thank you so much for this! It helped me tremendously!
These are so cute and perfect for a summer project. I can't stick to a full size afghan…get bored easily. 🙂 How many hexagons would you need for a decent size afghan?
I have no idea. I definitely don’t have the focus to make an entire blanket. I believe another follower did. Look at the link in a previous comment.
How would you do a half hexagon with this pattern?
