Move over, granny square, there’s a new kid in town and it’s about to show you a thing or two about who’s cool in crochet. Now, I’ve nothing against granny squares – they’re good fun and easy to make, that’s for sure – but this book is going to prove how much more versatile a hexagon can be. You see, whereas squares can only make square-ish, boxy shapes, a hexagon can be manipulated to create some pretty amazing constructions. Don’t believe me? Just take a flick through these pages to find patterns to make socks, mittens, bags and the most divine cardigan, all from the humble hexie. Before we get started, let’s quickly establish the correct terminology for describing a hexagon: the six edges are called ‘sides’ and the corners are called ‘vertices’ in their plural form or ‘vertex’ as singular. Maths lesson over. This book takes you through ten basic hexagons, with written patterns and charts to guide you. The basic motifs include the solid hexie (best for any project where you don’t want holes), the light and airy lacy hexie (perfect for lightweight garments) to the famous African Flower (beautiful and decorative). There’s nothing tricky about crocheting a hexagon of course – just think of it as a granny square with two more sides. The patterns are all based on these, with a few tweaks in between and where needed some half-hexies too. Lots of the projects are created with multiple motifs. Here you’ll find out about different ways to join them, many will be stitched whilst others are crocheted and some are even joined as-you-go, a technique which saves both time and patience. Others are created from one giant hexie, where rounds are added to the motif until the right size is achieved; perfect for quick and easy projects. The real beauty of the ten patterns is that they can be mixed and matched: if you’re not a fan of one motif used in a project, simply swap it for another. You know it will work, because they’re all the same shape. The projects have been chosen to showcase the hexie and demonstrate exactly what they are all about. Use them to crochet homewares, accessories and garments – everything from coasters and placemats to toys, rugs, and blankets. And hexies work in any type of yarn, too. From fine sock-weight yarns to super- chunky merino and just about everything in between. Sizing information for garments is available in the Techniques section. So what are you waiting for? Let’s get hooking hexies!
