Tutorial: Creating the Hexagon

Step 1: Starting the hexagon

• Chain a total of five stitches.
• Slip stitch into the first chain to create a circle.
• Chain one to bring your hook up to the right height.

Step 2: Round 1: Puff stitches

• Make six puff stitches into the center of the ring.
• Yarn over, insert the hook into the ring, yarn over and pull up a loop. Repeat this step two more times.
• Yarn over and pull through all the loops on your hook.
• Chain one.
• Repeat the puff stitch process five more times.
• Slip stitch into the chain one space after the first puff stitch.

Step 3: Round 2: Puff stitches continued

• Chain one to bring your hook up to the right height.
• Make two puff stitches in each chain one space from the previous round, separated by a chain one.
• Slip stitch into the chain one space after the first puff stitch to close the round.

Step 4: Round 3: Cluster stitches

• Chain two to start the round, which counts as the first treble.
• Make one cluster stitch in each chain one space from the previous round.
• Slip stitch into the chain two space after the first cluster stitch to close the round.

Step 5: Round 4: Treble crochets

• Chain two to start the round, which again counts as the first treble.
• Make two treble crochets in each chain one space, and three treble crochets in each chain two corner space.
• Slip stitch to close the round.

Optional Round: Double crochets

• Chain one to bring the hook up to the right height.
• Make one double crochet in each stitch from the previous round, including the corner chain two spaces.
• Slip stitch to close the round.

Finishing touches

• Close the last stitch with a slip stitch.
• Cut the yarn and pull the tail through the last stitch.
• Weave in any loose ends with a yarn needle.
