The pattern allows you to mix and match colors, offering customization options that fit your personal style. The combination of double crochet stitches and corner increases creates a soft, drapey fabric, perfect for layering in cooler months or wearing as a statement piece.
Crocheting the Hexagon (Make 2)
Start with the Main Pink Color.
Round 1 (The Center)
- Start with a circle: Chain 4 and slip stitch to the first chain to form a ring (or use a Magic Ring).
- Chain 4 (counts as 1 treble crochet and 1 chain space).
- Treble Crochet (TR) into the ring.
- Corner Repeat (x6): Chain 3, and then work 2 Treble Crochet (TR) into the ring.
- Slip stitch to the beginning chains to close the round.
- You should have 6 corners.
Round 2
- Turn your work.
- Chain 3 (counts as first DC).
- Work 1 DC in the first space.
- Corner: Chain 3, 2 DC in the same corner space.
- Work 1 DC into the next 2 stitches.
- Repeat the pattern: Work a Corner in the next corner space, followed by DC in the stitches along the side.
- Slip stitch to the first DC to finish the round.
For Round 3
- Continue with Pink (main color).
- Chain 3.

- Work a Corner (2 DC, 3 chains, 2 DC) in each of the 6 corner spaces.
- Slip stitch to the beginning chains.

- Finish with Bright Pink at the corner and work until the end.
- Round 11: Work the entire round in Pink (This is the final round for the hexagon).
Part 3: Assembly
Once you have two finished hexagons, use the main pink yarn for seaming.
1. Seaming the Back Panel
- Turn both hexagon panels inside out.
- Line up the back edges of the two hexagons.
- Fasten your yarn at the bottom corner of the back.
- Join the back edges using a slip stitch seam, taking one side of the chain from each panel.
- Continue the slip stitch seam all the way up to the shoulder area.
- This seam will form the center-back of the cardigan.
2. Seaming the Sleeves
- Turn the cardigan inside out again, focusing on one sleeve opening.
- Use the same slip stitch seam technique to join the two sides of the underarm/sleeve opening.
- When you reach the end of the sleeve/cuff, stop seaming and leave the final two stitches open before finishing.
- Repeat the process for the second sleeve.
