Crochet Feminine Hexagon Cardigan Free Pattern: The Inspiration

I love hexagon cardigans as they are so beautiful, and easy to crochet too! Let me know in the comments if you enjoy this cardigans as much as me. This is the first hexagon cardigan I have made with wide sleeves and a lovely belt to add a dainty shape.

If you love hexagon cardigans too, The Lily Hexagon Cardigan is my latest hexagon design to date. I love this project so much! The Lucienne Lavender Hexagon Cardigan is also a great project to make. These hexagon cardigans both feature tapered sleeves and feminine elegant shape. All these patterns come in sizes S to XXXL.

The Sweet Dreams Hexagon Cardigan I made a few years ago has been one of my most popular crochet designs to date. It is crocheted with Aran weight yarn and two different shades too.

Recently I crocheted two cardigan designs that I really love! These cardigans are so sweet and delicate too. A few weeks ago I released the Angel Wings Cardigan which comes in many different sizes. It so pretty and perfect for every season too! I also crocheted the Pastel Patchwork Cardigan is also a great crochet design if you are looking for a unique and delicate patchwork cardigan to crochet.

Crochet Feminine Hexagon Cardigan Free Pattern: The Yarn

For this cardigan I used Mandala yarn by Lion Brand yarns to make this project. I love this yarn so much! For this new hexagon cardigan design, I used Mandala yarn in shade Wood Nymph. Mandala yarn is really good for so many projects.

The Polina Half Circle Shawl is beautiful and features the Mandala Baby yarn in shade Narnia. Another lovely project featuring Mandala yarn is The Harlequin Shawl. I love these crochet projects so much, and I hope you will too!

Variegated yarn is a very good way to have different colored projects without having to switch colors as we work. These colors change naturally when using variegated yarn, which I love. This romantic prayer shawl is perfect if you are looking for an easy yet delicate shawl to crochet with two different colors.

I hope you like these projects!

Materials

2 skeins (sizes XS/S), 3 skeins (sizes M/L/XL), 4 skeins (sizes XXL/XXXL) of Mandala Yarn by Lion Brand in shade Wood Nymph

1 skein of Bernat Softee Baby in shade Antique White

A 4,5 mm crochet hook

A tapestry needle

Gauge

Sizes of finished cardigan

These are the sizes measured once cardigan has been assembled, including the edgings and borders, and excluding sleeves.

Sizes are referred as follows: height (shoulder to bottom) x width (shoulder to shoulder).

Because this is a hexagon cardigan, the sleeves are wide for each size, and they are just worked up automatically while we crochet both our hexagons to form cardigan. Therefore, they automatically are bigger if you crochet a bigger size (ie add more rounds to each hexagon).

Size S:

26,5” (67 cm) in length x 24” (61 cm) in width

Size M:

28” (71 cm) in length x 27” (68,5 cm) in width

Size L:

29,5” (74,5 cm) in length x 30” (76 cm) in width

Size XL:

31” (78 cm) in length x 33” (84 cm) in width

Size XXL:

32,5” (82 cm) in length x 36” (91,5 cm) in width

General notes concerning this pattern and crochet hexagons

Hexagons do not lie flat whilst you crochet them, they are instead wavy. Please note this is completely normal and once have finished each hexagon (we will be crocheting 2), we will be placing them flat and folded in such a way that they will lie flat and create the shape of the cardigan.

The fact that each hexagon does not lie flat as you crochet it is not a mistake.

Corner spaces will always feature 3 chains, and the side spaces always feature 1 chain.

The chain 3 at the beginning of each round counts as a DC throughout.

There will always be 6 corners per row for each hexagon. Each corner will be comprised of 3 DC, ch 3, 3 DC.

Begin pattern here

Create your hexagon (you will be making 2 identical hexagons)

Ch 5, sl st to first ch to form a ring.

Round 1: Ch 3 (=DC), 2 DC within the ring (=3 DC total); [ch 3, 3 DC] 5 times, ch 3, sl st to first ch 3 to close round.

Round 2: Ch 3 (=DC), turn your work, work 2 DC in ch 3 sp from previous row (=3 DC total), ch 3, 3 DC into same sp;

[ch 1, place 3 DC, ch 3, 3 DC into next ch 3 from previous row] until eor. Ch 1, sl st to 1^st ch 3 to close round.

Round 3: Ch 3, turn your work, work 2 DC into ch sp from previous row. Ch 1, [3 DC, ch 3, 3DC] into next ch sp (which is also the corner); [Ch 1, 3 DC into next ch sp, ch 1; 3 DC, ch 3, 3 DC into next ch sp], until eor.

Ch 1, sl st to first ch 3 to close round.

Round 4: Ch 3 (=DC), turn your work, 2 DC into ch sp from previous row (=3 DC total); *ch 1, 3 DC, ch 3, 3 DC into next ch sp (=corner); [ch 1, 3 DC into next ch sp 2 times] ** Repeat from * to ** 5 times; ch 1, 3 DC, ch 3, 3 DC into next ch space; ch 1, 3 DC into next ch space, ch 1, sl st to ch 3 from beginning of row to close of round.

We are now starting to see this pattern being worked up more clearly. As the hexagon will grow, we will have more “side” clusters of 3 DC, and have 6 clusters of 3 DC, ch 3, 3 DC which are the corners (we will always have the same number of corners which is 6 throughout).

Round 5-22 (S), 24 (M), 26 (L), 28 (XL), 30 (XXL), 32 (XXXL): repeat row 4, always adding 1 cluster of 3 DC per side per round as you increase your rounds. Of course, there will always be only 6 corners per round as you go along, where you will be placing 3 DC, ch 3, 3 DC.

Assembling your cardigan together

Once you have completed your 2 hexagons, fasten off, tidy up all loose ends. Sew in the center (where we began) of each hexagon to prevent unraveling.

Now place both hexagons side by side, folding them so as to form the shape of a cardigan.

With piece of yarn and tapestry needle, start seaming the top part of the cardigan together as seen in photo below. Sew the seam in straight across, using the mattress stitch.

Now sew in the back seam of your cardigan, using mattress stitch.

Fasten off, tidy up loose end.

Sleeve cuffs

Attach yarn (Bernat Softee Baby in shade Antique White) to cuff (attach yarn to any stitch across the cuff).

Round 1: Ch 1 (=SC), SC into next st until eor; sl stitch to first ch 1 to close off round.

Round 2-5: Repeat round 1 (turning your work at every beginning of row).

Fasten off yarn, tidy up all loose ends.

Repeat process on both sleeves.

Bottom edging

Attach yarn (Bernat Softee Baby in shade Antique White) to the bottom edging of the cardigan (attach to a stitch on either side at the very bottom of the cardigan).

Row 1: Ch 1 (=does not count as a stitch), SC into next st until eor.

Row 2-6: Repeat row 1 (turning your work at the beginning of each row).

Do not fasten off.
