Simple Crochet Hexagon Motif
Materials:
- Yarn: Worsted Weight (Category 4) Cotton Yarn, about 50 grams (you can use any color, but for this pattern we're using white).
- Hook: 4.0 mm (G hook).
- Scissors.
- Tapestry needle for weaving in ends.
Gauge:
To check your gauge, crochet a small square measuring 4"x4" using the same yarn and hook. You should have about 13 stitches in 4 inches. Gauge is not critical for this project, but it can affect the final size of your motif.
Abbreviations:
- ch - chain
- sl st - slip stitch
- dc - double crochet
- sp - space
Instructions:
Round 1: Begin with a slip knot on your hook. Chain 4, then join with a slip stitch to the first chain to form a ring.
Round 2: Chain 3 (counts as first dc here and throughout), then work 2 dc into the ring. Chain 1. Repeat this sequence (3 dc, chain 1) a total of 5 times, ensuring that you end with a chain 1. You should have 6 groups of 3 dc in round 2. Join with a slip stitch to the top of the chain 3 to finish this round.
Round 3: Slip stitch into the next chain 1 space to start this round. Chain 3, then work 2 dc into the same space (this creates a corner). Chain 1, then into the next chain 1 space, work (3 dc, chain 1) again. Repeat this for each chain 1 space around, so you will have 6 corners, each consisting of (3 dc, chain 1). Join with a slip stitch to the top of the initial chain 3 to complete this round.
Round 4: Slip stitch into the next chain 1 space to start this round. Chain 3, and then work 2 dc, chain 1, 3 dc into the same corner space (this creates a corner). Now into the next chain 1 space, work 3 dc. Repeat this pattern: (3 dc into the chain 1 corner space, chain 1, and 3 dc into the same corner space; in the next chain 1 space, work 3 dc) until you reach the last corner. Finish with a slip stitch to the top of the chain 3 to complete this round.
Finishing:
Cut the yarn, leaving a 6-inch tail. Pull the tail through the last loop to secure it. Use a tapestry needle to weave in the ends securely on the wrong side of your motif.
Optional Variations:
Feel free to experiment with different colors of yarn or change the size of your hook to create larger or smaller motifs. You can also join multiple hexagons together to make a cozy blanket or a stylish bag!
Enjoy your crocheted hexagon motif, and don't forget to share your creations with friends and family!
