Making a Half Hexagon: A Step-by-Step Tutorial

Crocheting a half hexagon can add an interesting element to your projects, whether it's a blanket, a bag, or a garment. In this tutorial, I will guide you through the process of creating a half hexagon step by step. You'll learn the techniques and stitches required, and I'll provide some tips along the way. So grab your yarn and crochet hook, and let's get started!

1. Introduction

Crocheting a half hexagon can be a fun and creative way to add variety to your crochet projects. Whether you're a beginner or an experienced crocheter, this tutorial will walk you through the process of creating a half hexagon, starting from the Slipknot to attaching it to your work.

2. Materials needed

Before we begin, let's gather all the materials you'll need for this project. You'll need yarn in your preferred color, a crochet hook (I'm using a 5mm hook), and a yarn needle for weaving in the ends. Make sure to choose yarn and hook sizes that are suitable for your project.

3. Making the Slipknot

To start, we need to create a Slipknot. There are various ways to make a Slipknot, so feel free to use your preferred method. Insert your crochet hook and pull the yarn onto the hook. This will be the starting point for our half hexagon.

4. Starting the circle

Once you have your Slipknot, it's time to start the circle. To do this, chain 4. Insert your hook into the first chain you made, yarn over, and pull through both loops on the hook to make a slip stitch. This will create your circle, which serves as the base for your half hexagon.

5. Creating the bottom edge

Now that we have our circle, we'll start creating the bottom edge of the half hexagon. Chain 3, which will count as the first treble (double crochet in US terms). Make another treble into the same center circle. Then, chain 2, just like you did for the corners. Continue by making two more trebles into the same circle, followed by another chain 2. This completes half of your hexagon.

6. Making the first round

To progress further, chain 3 again and turn your work. This time, we'll be creating the first round of the half hexagon. Start by making a treble into the top of the next stitch, skipping the base stitch. Then, yarn over and insert your hook into the space between stitches, making the next treble. Repeat this process for the next stitch as well. Chain 2 for the corner and make another treble into the same space. Continue this pattern for the rest of the stitches, corners, and chain spaces until you reach the end of the round.

7. Turning the work

Once you've completed the first round, chain 3 again and turn your work. This will prepare us for the next round. To ensure that the bottom edge remains flat and doesn't curl up, make another treble into the base of the first stitch.

8. Continuing the pattern

Now it's time to continue the pattern for the second round of the half hexagon. Make two trebles into the top of the next two stitches, followed by a treble into the chain 2 space and another chain 2 for the corner. Repeat this pattern for the remaining stitches until you reach the end of the round. Make sure to end with two trebles into the top of the chain 3 from the previous round.

9. Finishing the second round

To finish the second round, chain 3, turn your work, and make a treble into the base of the first stitch. Then, make two trebles into the top of the next two stitches. Continue this pattern for the rest of the stitches, corners, and chain spaces until you reach the end of the round.

10. Attaching the half hexagon to the blanket

Once you've completed your half hexagon, it's time to attach it to your project. Take a length of yarn in the same color and thread it through a yarn needle. Align the flat edge of the half hexagon with the corresponding section on your blanket, making sure the corners are aligned correctly. Use the needle to stitch the two pieces together, starting at the corner and moving stitch by stitch until you reach the end. Knot off the end and weave in any loose ends to tidy up your work.
