This hexagon cardigan crochet pattern is a simple project that uses two large hexagon panels to form a stylish and comfortable garment. Worked with simple double crochets in a classic granny style, the design grows quickly and can be customized in size, length, and color.
Crochet Hexagon Cardigan
Once the panels are folded and joined, they naturally transform into sleeves and a cozy body shape without complicated shaping. This makes it a perfect project for anyone wanting a versatile layering piece that looks impressive yet remains easy to make. With optional ribbed cuffs and a neat border, the final cardigan is wearable, soft, and suitable for every season.
