Hexagon Granny Crochet Pattern
This pattern describes the process for making a granny-style hexagon motif with fence-like sides. The motif is versatile and can be used as a base for napkins, placemats, coasters, or other decorative table items. The hexagon is built from a magic circle foundation and increases rounds, with attention to creating even, straight sides in the last lap.
Pattern Basic Points
- Magic Circle Foundation:
Provides a tight center without gaps, perfect for geometric motifs. - Classic Granny Motif Construction:
Uses clusters of double crochet and chain spaces to build corners and sides. - Increased Rounds:
Each round expands the motif’s size and enhances the hexagon form. - Adjustable Corners in Last Lap:
Side corners are worked with fewer stitches to create straight, even edges. - Easy Joining and Color Changes:
Allows for continuous rounds and optional color changes at any round.
Special Notes
- The motif may be adapted further; simply continue rounds for a larger hexagon.
- For a perfectly straight-edged hexagon, adjust the number of double crochet clusters in corners as described in the last round.
- Changing colors at the corners is possible and can enhance the visual effect.
- Ensure the motif lays flat at the end of each round; adjust tension if it cups or ripples.
- The pattern is suitable for a range of yarns and hook sizes but testing with your materials for gauge is recommended.

Crochet Instructions
Magic Circle Start
- Begin with a magic circle.
Round 1:
- Ch 3 (counts as first dc).
- Work 2 dc into the circle (first cluster).
- Ch 2.
- Work 3 dc into magic circle, ch 2; repeat from * to * until there are a total of 6 clusters of 3 dc, each separated by a ch 2.
- Pull the ring tight to close center.
- Join with sl st to top of the starting ch 3.
Round 2:
- Sl st across to reach the next ch-2 corner.
- In ch-2 space, ch 3 (counts as first dc), work 2 dc (first cluster).
- Ch 1 (space).
- Work 3 dc in same ch-2 space (corner cluster).
- Ch 1, move to next ch-2 space, work (3 dc, ch 1, 3 dc) in each ch-2 corner.
- Repeat around, finish with ch 1.
- Join with sl st to top of starting ch 3.
Round 3:
- Sl st across to the corner ch-1 space.
- In ch-1 corner space: ch 3, 2 dc (corner cluster).
- Ch 1.
- 3 dc in same space.
- In each side ch-1 space, work (3 dc).
- In each corner ch-1 space, work (3 dc, ch 1, 3 dc).
- Repeat around, alternating [side: 3 dc], [corner: cluster, ch 1, cluster].
- Complete the round by joining with sl st to top of starting ch 3.
Round 4 (Last Round; Straight Sides):
- Sl st to corner ch-1 space.
- In ch-1 corner space: ch 3, 1 dc (NOT 2; for straight edge), ch 1, 2 dc (corner cluster with fewer dcs).
- Along sides, in each side ch-1 space, work (3 dc).
- In each corner ch-1 space, work (2 dc, ch 1, 2 dc) to keep sides straighter.
- Continue pattern [side: 3 dc], [corner: 2 dc, ch 1, 2 dc] to the end of the round.
- Finish with sl st to top of starting ch 3; make a final sl st, cut yarn and pull through.

Assembly & Finished Size
