This hexagon pattern was designed specifically for the Diamond Blanket, but I think it would be great for everything from blankets to tablecloths. Have fun with it!

Notes

1. You can use any type of yarn to crochet a hexagon. Just check the label to see what size hook corresponds with the weight of your yarn.

2. You have to use two colors (A and B) to crochet a hexagon. On each round V stitches are crocheted with color A and dc stitches with color B. Check out 4th section of this post to learn how to switch colors

Stitches

Abbreviations

st(s) = stitch(es); ch(s) = chain(s); dc = double crochet; mc = magic circle; Puff (3 hdc cluster) = 3 half double crochet cluster; sc = single crochet; sl st = slip stitch; [ ] = work directions in brackets the number of times specified.

Special Stitches

Puff = 3 hdc cluster (3 half double crochet cluster) = [Yarn over, insert hook in indicated stitch and draw up a loop] 3 times, yarn over and draw through 6 loops on hook, yarn over and draw through all loops on hook.
V = puff, ch2, puff (puff stitches are crocheted in the same ch2-space).
Puff starting stitch= start with pulling the loop on hook to be same height as a double crochet stitch then complete as described above. Starting stitch is used at the beginning of a round or row.

Instructions

Make mc,

Round 1: ch 1 to secure the magic loop and then puff in magic loop, [ch 2, puff] 5 times in magic loop, ch 2, sl st to join last ch to the top of the first puff, sl st in the 1st ch. (Now you have 6 sets of puff +2 chs. The puff will become the sides of your hexagon and the ch-2 space will become the corners.)

Round 2: [V in ch-2 space, dc in next puff] 6 times, sl st to join last dc to the top of the first puff, sl st in the 1st ch. (Each hex side now has 3 stitches (puff, dc and puff), separated by a 2 ch spaces.)

Round 3: [V in ch-2 space, dc in next 3 stitches] 6 times, sl st to join last dc to the top of the first puff, sl st in the 1st ch.(Each hex side now has 5 stitches (puff, 3 dc and puff), separated by a 2 ch spaces.)

Round 4: [V in ch-2 space, dc in next 5 stitches] 6 times, sl st to join last dc to the top of the first puff, sl st in the 1st ch.(Each hex side now has 7 stitches (puff, 5 dc and puff), separated by a 2 ch spaces.)

Round 5: [V in ch-2 space, dc in next 7 stitches] 6 times, sl st to join last dc to the top of the first puff, sl st in the 1st ch.(Each hex side now has 9 stitches (puff, 7 dc and puff), separated by a 2 ch spaces.)

Round 6: [V in ch-2 space, dc in next 9 stitches] 6 times, sl st to join last dc to the top of the first puff, sl st in the 1st ch.(Each hex side now has 11 stitches (puff, 9 dc and puff), separated by a 2 ch spaces.)

You can continue like this to make your hexagon as large as you’d like. As you see in this pattern, the hexagon increases by 2 stitches per side on each round.
