Hi everyone. This is a crochet tutorial for a hexagon cardigan made with the granny stitch.

Things you need to know about this pattern...

1. This pattern is made to measure. (A tape measure is essential. All of the measurements are provided below, you just need to measure your garment as you progress through the pattern).

2. As it is made to measure you can use any weight yarn and any size hook.

3. Due to the way in which the pattern is constructed, the larger the size, the wider the sleeves and the longer the length. The sleeves can get very wide and there is an option to cuff them or leave them wide and flowing.

4. Once it has been assembled, you can either leave it the length it is at or there is another option to add extra length.

Here are some yarn estimates based on the longer length version in DK yarn...

I just wanted to say thank you for having plus-size measurements available. We get left out of wearables sometimes, and it really stinks! Thank you so much

Just wanted to thank you for this. My mum is a 60 something gigaboomer who has always said she doesn't see the point in YouTube. This blew up on Facebook in the crochet groups were in and she's now super happy about YouTube lol

I'm only about a third of the way through the pattern but I wanted to say thank you so so much for this! It's so nice to see this style of cardigan done in plus sizes that won't end up as a square sack. Your instructions are so nice and clear and the measurement checkpoints help a lot!

Just made this for my daughter so easy to follow and it’s turned out beautiful ❤

[kayellwy]

I have followed your tutorial throughout the entire process, creating a cardigan to fit myself. I frogged a few times when I was unhappy with my color order, but it was a lovely learning experience. Thank you for providing such good detail and instruction. I'm sure I'll be using this tutorial for other cardigans using different yarns. You're a wonderful teacher!

Due to popular demand, I am now on my SIXTEENTH cardi for family and friends.

Thank you so much for your Hexagon Cardigan tutorial. I have made my first ever hexagon wearable! I crocheted along with you every stitch of the way. So easy and fun! I'm going to make several more of these in different colors for myself! Thanks again!!

[alexbastardi]

I haven’t finished my cardigan yet but I just need to say this is one of the best crochet videos I’ve watched. I initially found it because I was trying to piece together some hexagons and squares I made (I’m not a pattern-reader) and this video was SO helpful! Especially with the sizes listed in the caption

[spacegeck]

Making this my next project! Ive wanted to try a peacock themed project for ages and this could be perfect! Various Blues and greens, with some gold and white thrown in.

[nathaliejodet]

Hi Kelly, your pattern and page were recommended to me by Coldspring Mill, an amazing wool shop in a village called Cullingworth, Bradford. This is one of the best recommendations I've ever had!! Your tutorial, the pattern, the sizing for plus size crochet....all fabulous!! First time I've ever made a garment, didn't think I could do it but your video and instructions made it possible! Finished my cardie this week, I absolutely adore it and can't wait to get cracking on other colours! Thank you so much for this tutorial, flipping magnificent! X
