Pattern Steps

1. Hexagon Panel (Make 2)

Start with slip knot.

Round 1:

• Ch 5. Sl st in first ch to form a ring.
• Ch 3 (counts as first dc), 2 dc in ring, ch 2 (first corner).
• [3 dc in ring, ch 2] Repeat until you have 6 clusters of 3 dc, separated by ch 2 spaces.
• Sl st in top of initial ch 3 to join.
• Pull tail to close center tightly.

Round 2 and onward:

• Ch 3 (counts as first dc), dc in each dc across cluster from previous round.
• At each corner (ch 2 space): [2 dc, ch 2, 2 dc] all in corner space.
• Continue around, joining with sl st to top of ch 3 at end of round.
• Repeat for number of rounds as follows:

Size Chart (Rows per Panel; “Rows” = Rounds)

Size	Rows per Panel
XS	15
S	16
M	17
L	18
XL	19
2X	20
3X	21

Note: For longer sleeves or body, add extra rows as needed. For shorter sleeves, subtract rows.

2. Join New Skein (If Needed)

• When you run out of yarn mid-row, overlap old and new yarn, tie both with a strong knot, and continue crocheting over the tails for extra security.

3. Sleeve Length Extension

• After completing all panel rounds, fold hexagon in half at the final round/tail to form cardigan shape.
• For sleeve extension, attach yarn at the sleeve edge.
• For every size: Add rows so the total sleeve length is 22 rows (including panel rounds).
• E.g. For Large: Panel = 18 rows; sleeve extension = 4 rows.
• Each row: ch 3 (counts as dc), dc across (no corners). Turn; repeat for required rows.

Final sleeve row:

• Ch 3, dc in first st, sk 1, dc in next; repeat across to end.
• This draws in the sleeve for the cuff.

4. Panel Assembly

• Make two identical hexagon panels as above.
• Place panels together, right sides facing.
• Start at sleeve opening and slip stitch (or sew with tapestry needle) along the top edge and sleeve to join.
• Repeat for second panel.

5. Sleeve Cuff (Ribbed)

• With same or contrast yarn at sleeve edge, ch 11 (customize for desired cuff height).
• Row 1: sc in 2nd ch from hook and across (10 sc).
• Row 2: sl st to the next 3 sts on sleeve edge, turn.
• Row 3: sc in BL only across (10 sc), ch 1, turn.
• Repeat Rows 2-3 all the way around the sleeve edge, slip stitching into sleeve edge for a ribbed cuff.
• At end, join cuff edges with sc or sl st.
• Fasten off, weave ends in.

6. Back Seam

• Lay cardigan with back edges together (where panels meet).
• Using tapestry needle and yarn, sew up the back seam, knot securely and weave in ends.
• Alternatively, attach yarn and sl st across the seam for quicker joining.

7. Optional Border/Length

• To add length or a border: Attach yarn at lower edge, sc up front, around neck, and down other front edge.
• For more length, sc or dc in rows along the bottom edge until desired length is achieved.

Completion

• Turn cardigan right side out.
• Weave in all loose ends.
• Try on and adjust cuffs, border, and length as desired.

Conclusion

You now have a classic, customizable hexagon cardigan with long sleeves and ribbed cuffs! This beginner-friendly design uses basic stitches and minimal seaming for a polished finish. Borders and cuffs allow for personalization in both color and length.

Pattern Corrections & Tips

• Stitch placement: Do not crochet into slip stitches at row ends; only into dc stitches for proper shape.
• Corners: Ensure each corner consists of [2 dc, ch 2, 2 dc] for sharp hexagon angles.
• Sizing: For best results, use worsted weight yarn and recommended hook size. Adjust panel rounds for custom fit.
• Sleeve/cuff: For tighter cuffs, use smaller hook or reduce chain length.
• Assembly: When slip stitching panels, align corners carefully for a neat finish.

Tips:

• Use stitch markers to track your rounds and corners.
• Customize sleeve length and cuff width to your own measurements.
• Mix colors for fun, gradient, or contrasting looks.
