Pattern Overview:

The project involves making a large hexagonal granny square that is folded and seamed to create a cardigan. Each hexagon becomes one side of the cardigan, requiring two identical pieces.

Steps:

Start the Hexagon:

Using the Pistachio color, start a traditional granny square center. After establishing the center, continue to expand it into a hexagonal shape by creating six sides.

Color Sequence:

After Pistachio, switch to the Chocolate color, followed by Whiskey, and then Pale Yellow. Continue the pattern using these colors, creating two rows per color before switching.

Expansion:

Continue expanding your hexagon by following the granny square principle (clusters of double crochet separated by chain spaces) until it reaches the desired size. Note that to achieve a cardigan, the hexagon needs to be quite large.

Finish First Half:

Complete the first hexagon. Repeat the process for the second hexagon, ensuring both are identical in size and pattern.

Joining:

Fold each hexagon in half (one fold will create the back of the neck and the top of the arms). Then stitch from the corners of each side down to create the armholes, leaving the rest of the side open.

Cuffs:

Pick up stitches around the sleeve openings in Pistachio and create ribbed cuffs by crocheting back and forth in rows and then seaming.

Border:

Add a border along the front opening and the bottom of the cardigan. The pattern suggests a double row in Chocolate for visual emphasis and then a continuation in Pistachio for the rest of the border.

Adjustments:

If your cardigan is too long, consider adjusting the number of rows in each color or opting for a different assembling technique to achieve a desired length.
