Materials
- Heavy cotton yarn in four colors
- Crochet hook suitable for yarn weight
- Yarn needle
- Scissors
Pattern Setup
- Use a traditional granny stitch made of clusters of three double crochets
- Rotate colors consistently, working two rows per color
- Repeat the full color sequence three times for an oversized adult fit
Hexagon Construction
- Crochet two identical hexagons
- Begin with a center ring and work six sides instead of four
- Work three double crochet clusters into each space around
- At every corner, make two clusters separated by one chain
- Continue increasing evenly to maintain six clear corners
- Complete a total of twenty four rows per hexagon
Folding and Assembly
- Fold each hexagon so that two corners meet to form an L shape
- Align both folded pieces side by side
- Join the center back seam from top to bottom
- Stitch along the top edges to close the shoulders
- Continue stitching down the sleeve length on both sides
Seamless Color Tip
- Work only one row of the final color on edges that will be joined
- Once joined, the seam will visually appear as a full two row stripe
Finishing
- Add cuffs to the sleeve ends to create a gathered and cozy shape
- Work ribbing along the front opening and bottom edge
- At the bottom corners, repeat ribbing stitches into the same spot several times
- This helps round the corners and prevents the border from buckling
Final Notes
- Adjust size easily by adding or removing hexagon rounds
- Color combinations can be changed to suit any season or style
- The finished cardigan has a relaxed oversized silhouette perfect for everyday wear
