How to Crochet a Hexagon
All of these crochet hexagons are worked in the round, from the center out. Generally, crochet hexagons start with a multiple of 6 stitches, with 6 evenly-spaced increases in each round until the hexagon is the size you want it to be. Starting with this basic formula, you can work almost any stitch in a hexagon shape to create everything from a striking geometric design to a pretty floral piece.
You get even more creative options based the size of the hexagons and how you join them. You can combine them into all sorts of crochet hexagon projects, from kitchen items, to pouches and bags, to sweaters, to cozy blankets. Use these project ideas as inspiration and then let your imagination run wild!

Carmen, you have made my YEAR! I’ve been looking for a hexagon crochet pattern, and here you’ve assembled 19 of them. My grandmother was a crocheter and knitter, but her speciality was quilts and Grandmother’s Flower Garden was her favorite pattern (she pieced and quilted entirely by hand – whew!). Now I can duplicate it in crochet – thank you so much!
