Thank you for posting this. I am currently knitting a tortoise that needs hexagons for the shell. The pattern suggests embroidering them on. I think your crochet hexagons will be far better. I could have a smaller one over a large one to really define the shell.
I have been looking for this..... it looks to be more closed than other hexagons Ive seen......and I need this to try and make a soccor ball....now I have to find a easy pentagon....thanks for sharing!!!
Thank you for the tutorial; it was very well put together, and the instructions were clear and concise. I was wondering though, if you were to sew/crochet a bunch of these together into a blanket, would the blocking be undone if you were to wash it? And if so would there be a fix for it?
Hi Ari. If you were to make the hexagons into a blanket, whether the blocking would need to be repeated would depend on the fiber content of your yarn. If it is acrylic yarn, and machine washable, you can just wash and dry the finished blanket by machine with no need to block it again. If the blanket is made from natural fibers, you'll likely want to air dry the blanket laying flat. Allowing the blanket to air dry laying flat will be similar to blocking. You would not need to pin it out to certain measurements each time you dry it, but it is best to lay it out flat with the edges fairly straight as it dries. I hope this helps!
I like you afghan 12 month afghan that you made on your knitting machine! But I dint have one and don't know if you can buy them in the uk, so could I use the above to make something similar
Hi Sylvia! You can get the Addi knitting machines in the UK via Amazon UK, but you can also make a similar afghan with these crocheted hexagons. Hope this helps!
Hi, this is a great tutorial! It's very easy to follow! I had a question though..If you were to sew a bunch of hexagons together without blocking them, would that straighten the edges out or would blocking still be necessary? Thanks again!
Hi Stephanie! If you sewed them together, it would straighten the edges a little, but the edges / corners will be sharper and the work will lay much nicer if they are blocked first. Hope this helps! Thanks!
Sorry, I do not, but the concept would be similar to the hexagon pattern shown in the video. I would suggest doing a search for "single crochet pentagon pattern" and see if there is a tutorial out there that would fit what you're looking for. I hope this helps!
Hi. This project is worked in a continuous spiral, so it is not necessary to chain 1 before each round. For more info, look up "crochet continuous rounds" in google.
I have been making a flower garden quilt with 1 1/2" single crochet hexagons and while two opposite sides are fairly even the other two sides look some what uneven or unfinished. Saw another pattern with 1/2 hexagons in double crochet to even pattern out a little bit. Do you have any suggestions, since the other pattern is in double crochet?
Hi Linda. Yes, you could make this single crochet hexagon into a half hexagon if you like. To do that, you would need to work back and forth in rows and omit the other side of the hexagon. You would have an increase at the beginning and end of each row, and 2 increases evenly spaced between. It's just like working the hexagon in the video, but by working back and forth instead of in the round, and omitting some of the repeats of the instructions. I hope this helps!
Hi Linda. If you ended up with a circle, then the increases did not line up directly on top of each other. The hexagon shape is created by the increases all being stacked directly above the increase from the round below. If the increases are offset from the increases in the round below, then the resulting piece will be circular instead.
Am I crazy or is this just a circle? Like, what's the difference between the instructions for this and the instructions for a circle? I really don't mean to be rude or anything! But it just looks like a chunky circle? Am I missing something?
Hi Addison. You're right, a circle does begin the same way. However, when the 6 increases from each round are stacked directly above the 6 increases from the previous round, this creates the points of the hexagon. To keep it round for a circle, you just have to offset the increases so they are not lined up on top of each other. That smooths out the overall shape so there are no points around the edges. I hope this helps!

Do you have a pattern for a pentagon with single crochets?

I'm just curious as to why you didn't chain 1 before each row. Is it not necessary?

@@YayForYarn can you make a video on how to single crochet a half hexi . It will help me a lot
What am I doing wrong? I followed the tutorial and I have a circle!
