3. Granny Hexagon Basics
Before diving into the pattern, let's familiarize ourselves with the basic components of a granny hexagon. A granny hexagon consists of a center ring and multiple rounds of stitches that form a hexagonal shape. Each round adds more stitches and increases the size of the hexagon.
4. First Round of Granny Hexagon
To start, create a slipknot and chain four. Slip stitch into the first chain to form a ring. Chain three (counts as the first double crochet) and work two more double crochets into the ring. Chain two and work three more double crochets into the ring. Repeat this sequence five more times to create a total of six sets of two double crochets with chain two spaces in between them. Slip stitch into the top of the beginning chain three to complete the round.
5. Second Round of Granny Hexagon
Change to a new color of yarn by creating a slipknot and joining it to any of the chain two spaces. Chain three (counts as the first double crochet) and work two more double crochets in the same space. Chain two and work three more double crochets in the same space. Repeat this sequence in each chain two space of the previous round. Slip stitch into the top of the beginning chain three to complete the round. Repeat this process for each round, increasing the number of double crochets in each chain two space.
