EASY Hexagon Cardigan Crochet Patterns
12 of the best free hexagon cardigan crochet patterns plus three of my favourite paid patterns.
Hexagon cardigans are simple to make, I think they’re one of the easiest wearables to crochet! They’re constructed from two hexagons that are cleverly seamed together at the back and the sleeves/shoulders.
They’re also really easy to customise; you can try them on as you go and make the sleeves and the body longer, shorter, or wider; you can add ribbing or leave the edges simple. There are lots of options.
