Materials and Start

Yarn: Weight 4 (worsted weight) acrylic yarn
Hook: 5.75 mm hook
Start with a Magic Ring.

Round 1 (Creating the Six Sides)

Chain 3 (counts as your first double crochet, DC).
Work 2 DC into the magic ring. (This is the first 3 DC cluster).
Chain 1.
Work 3 DC into the ring.
Repeat steps 3 and 4 until you have a total of six clusters of 3 DC separated by a Chain 1 space.
Close the magic ring by pulling the tail.
Slip stitch to the top of the initial Chain 3 to join the round.

Round 2 (Establishing Corners)

Chain 3.
Work 2 DC into the space before the initial Chain 3 (completing the first side cluster).
Corner Pattern: In the next Chain 1 space, work (3 DC, Chain 1, 3 DC).
Repeat the Corner Pattern in each of the next five Chain 1 spaces.
To finish the round, work 3 DC into the last gap.
Chain 1, then slip stitch to the top of the initial Chain 3 to join.

Subsequent Rounds (Increasing the Size)

Increase Pattern: Each round increases by adding one more 3 DC cluster between the corners.
Chain 3, and work 2 DC into the starting gap.
Work 3 DC into every gap along the side until you reach the next corner.
At the corner, repeat the Corner Pattern (3 DC, Chain 1, 3 DC).
Repeat steps 2 and 3 all the way around the hexagon.
Finish the final side with 3 DC in the last gap.
Chain 1, then slip stitch to the top of the Chain 3 to join.
Continue until the panel is large enough to fold in half and create the sleeve hole (typically 14 rows).

Part 2: Seaming the Sleeve & Adding Length

Seaming the Sleeve (Armhole)

Fold the hexagon panel in half to create the sleeve shape.
Turn the work so the wrong side is facing out.
Join the two edges by working a single crochet (SC) through the corresponding stitch on both sides all the way up the seam.
Turn the work right side out.

Creating the Sleeve Tube

Round 1: Chain 3. Work 2 DC in the gap to the right of the chain. Work 3 DC into every remaining gap around the sleeve opening. Slip stitch to the Chain 3 to join.
Subsequent Rounds: Chain 3, work 2 DC in the starting gap, and then work 3 DC in every gap around. Slip stitch to join. Repeat for the desired sleeve length (usually 13 rows).

Part 3: Sleeve Cuff (Decrease and Ribbing)

Decrease Row

(Optional: Change to a smaller hook, e.g., 5.0 mm, for the ribbing).
Work a single crochet decrease (SC2tog) all the way around the sleeve opening to cinch the opening.
Slip stitch to the first stitch to join.

Cuff Ribbing (Working in Short Rows)

Foundation: Chain 6.
Work 1 SC in the 2nd chain from the hook, and 1 SC in each of the remaining 4 chains (5 SC total).
Joining: Slip stitch into the next two stitches on the sleeve opening.
Row Up: Turn your work. SC in the first stitch. SC in the back loop only (BLO) for the next three stitches. SC in the last stitch (under both loops).
Row Down: Chain 1, turn your work. SC in the first stitch. SC in the BLO for the next three stitches. SC in the last stitch (under both loops).
Repeat these steps all the way around the sleeve opening.
Closing the Cuff: Leave a long tail and use a tapestry needle to sew the short sides of the ribbing together to create the finished cuff.

Part 4: Seaming the Body

Place the two completed panels together with the wrong side facing out.
Front Seam: Start from the bottom hem and use a single crochet seam to stitch the two panels together up the center. Stop where the neckline will begin (about 13 stitches unworked at the top).
Back Seam: Repeat the single crochet seam on the back edge, but stitch the entire edge closed.
Turn the sweater right side out to reveal the finished garment.
