Hi friends! In this video I share how to make a modern granny hexagon and half hexagon which was adapted from the modern granny square I shared recently. If you missed it, you can find it here: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-051xIu800AA.htmlsi=uw3xcrBM65srnavK This hexagon measures approx 5 x 5.5 in (12 x 14 cm). Hope you enjoy the video! x
This is such a great video. The hexagons are cute. The half hex is so helpful for an even edged blanket or whatever. Excellent explanations of your detailed work, Roz. Thank you.💖~Joan~
Hi, I haven’t watched yet but I know it will be good because well, it’s you 🤩. Thank you for this. There are folks on Ravelry charging money for hexi patterns but I knew it couldn’t be hard and hadn’t got around to using my own (old) brain. It’s very handy to have a hexi in the ol’ bag of tricks 🥰🫶. PS: Wow, I would never have figured that out! So, double thank you Roz 🤗
Absolutely! I’d like to do a tip video at some point to show how to turn any square pattern into a hexi because it’s actually a lot of fun figuring out! Thanks for writing ❤️❤️
Hi Roz Thank you so much for another wonderful tutorial. You make everything easy. I have learned so much from you. Things that frustrated me don't because you have shown me so many easy ways of doing things. At my age, with my health I needed that. Bless you. It helps me enjoy crocheting so much more. I appreciate you so much. Have a blessed week. 😊❤
I didn't like the idea of turning your work on a hexagon but when it's finished I think turning each row looks very compact and neat. I like it, 👏. Thanks Robin.
I think it might have something to do with the way the top of the stitch sits slightly to the right (or left if left handed). When it’s flipped I think it helps to balance that out. Thanks for watching! 💕
Hello Roz and happy Monday to you... what can i say . Another great tutorial . I think its time for me to nominate you for an award not to mention induction into the crochet hall of fame Lol . Seriously you are the besttttt. Have a great day with the boys and the eclipse of the 🌙.
This would make a great shawl for the half hexagon and maybe a full skein and mini kit for fingering weight, or something heavier to make it gorgeous. A double row of the taller stitches to and fro would make the pattern work well for carrying the yarn up the side for the chain row too, for the half hexagons, maybe, this is a theory brainstorm I have enhanced by lack of sleep.
@@PlayHookywithMe thank you so much. I like watching how the yarn reacts as your crocheting and like the way it looks in a finished product. Thank you again
I may have asked but I've lost my comment history - other than continuous moss stitch is there any other stitch that can be dine continuously that doesn't have such large gaps? I donate for NICU and we have to be mindful of preemie fingers and toes getting caught. I've done so many continuous moss stitch blankets, i need a break lol.
Have you tried the herringbone in the round ? ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-m_iNiUPQFcI.htmlsi=z0Nqm68G1nABXJPf C2C Suzette stitch might be a good option as well . ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-Ggtbp78icAI.htmlsi=oZMOMUIBzCUWEDcD
There are a lot of blanket patterns available online (free and payment required) that will tell you how much you need. But if you’re watching a tutorial like mine where you’re just being taught the stitch itself, then it will be up to you to learn along the way. You can make a small sample for yourself with a few hexagons and half hexagons . Measure it and weigh it (use a kitchen scale) and use those details to guesstimate how much you would need to make a blanket (you’ll need to know how big you want that blanket to be) Compare the weight of the sample with the weight of a ball of yarn (look at the label ) to get an idea of how much yarn it took to make one hexagon, for example. 💕
