    How to crochet a hexagon sweater - step-by-step tutorial featuring Lion Brand Vanna's Style in the color "Tomato."

    Meditative Crochet Cruise Control

    Boy I loved working on this project. It was one of those WIPs (works in progress) I just didn't want to end!

    Here's what I think you'll love most about crocheting this easy sweater pattern:

    • It's made with meditative rounds that strike just the right balance of interesting and mindlessness.

    • You can try on your sweater as you crochet and easily modify the sizing if necessary. It's so inspiring to watch it grow!

    • The whole pattern only includes three seams. Can I get a heck yeah?!

    The Magical Sweater You Can Wear Year Round

    Many of you on Instagram encouraged me to create an adult version of the kids XO Cardigan. You might actually notice that today's Day Date Cardigan uses the same stitch as the XO Cardigan to create subtle rows of little open "windows" around the sweater. For this sweater though, I felt inspired to create an equally easy cardigan that felt a little more adult-like and stylish.

    I didn't know this until my sister informed me a couple of days ago, but these poofy sleeves are called "bishop sleeves" and they add such a deliberate, statement-y (and comfortable!) effect to this easy crochet sweater pattern.

    RELATED: We love making garments so much, we even designed a crochet dog sweater for large, medium and small dogs!

    Two simple crochet hexagons transform into a lightweight, on-trend cardigan complete with cozy pockets and roomy bishop sleeves. This easy crochet sweater pattern and tutorial makes a great first garment for beginners and is perfect to wear in the spring or summer.

    Much Easier Than It Looks

    Some of the most intimidating parts of crocheting a sweater if you've never done it before are:

    • Figuring out if it will fit when you're finished.
    • Seaming all the pieces together.
    • Trying to translate the written pattern into visual concepts.

    This easy crochet sweater pattern really simplifies all of the above. It's rare that you can just try on a project as you crochet and easily add more rows/rounds as you need to. But in this case, checking the fit as you work is as simple as pinning your hexagons in a few places. You can try it on as many times as you'd like as it grows.

    Related: The Brunch Hexagon Cardigan

    Because it's made from two hexagons, much of the typical seaming involved with crocheting a sweater is removed. Three simple seams and you'll have this puppy all put together.

    And if you feel intimidated by flying solo with a written crochet pattern, keep reading because this sweater pattern includes lots of support the visual learners out there.

    The Yarn

    To make a sweater that felt easy and breezy enough to wear in the spring and summer, I knew that some chain space windows would not be enough. The yarn needed to feel lightweight and the color needed to make you want to get outside and celebrate life.

    Woman's torso with her hands in the pockets of the easy crochet sweater she's wearing.

    Lion Brand Vanna's Style turned out to be the PERFECT choice! It's a lightweight category 3 yarn that is easily washable and the stitch definition is beautiful. If you've ever used Lion Brand Woolspun, you can expect Vanna's Style to have a similar multi-ply look, but just without the wool.

    And this color! It's even more stunning in person. I'd describe it as a gentle pink-ish red. I'm not always into super bright colors, and this beautiful shade is just desaturated enough to be eye catching, while still retaining a bit of sophistication. I just adore it!

    Substituting Yarn

    Sadly, since publishing this easy crochet cardi, Vanna's Style has been discontinued. I don't think you'll have too much trouble finding a replacement yarn you're happy with luckily.

    Lion Brand Jeans is quite close in structure and fiber composition (and is incredibly soft and drapey!), but you might want to decrease your hook size when swatching this yarn. Jeans is slightly thicker than Vanna's Style.

    Hand Dyed Heaven by Lion Brand is another comfortable, lightweight yarn that would substitute beautifully. While it's made from nylon, the feel is cool and comfortable, kind of like a very soft cotton.

    If neither of these substitutes are available near you, I highly recommend checking out YarnSub.com for other suggestions for yarns that will suite this pattern well.

    A Hexagon Cardi For Crocheters of All Levels

    In addition to making this cardigan construction as easy as possible, I wanted to add a few bonuses to the ad-free, printable PDF that will be an extra help to more beginner-level crocheters and anyone who learns visually.

    How to crochet a hexagon sweater - stitch chart and free pattern

    The PDF contains the entire pattern, plus all the tutorial pictures, but I've also included a stitch chart for the hexagon as well as a schematic that lists all the measurements you can expect in each pattern size. I find stitch charts to be by far the easiest way to learn and in the case of this hexagon, I think it's particularly helpful. You can grab the pattern PDF on LoveCrafts.com here and on Etsy here.

    Explanation:
    This oversized, lightweight cardigan comes together almost like a magic trick. Two simple hexagons transform into an on-trend sweater complete with cozy pockets and roomy bishop sleeves.

    Because it’s built from two large hexagons, you can try on the sweater as you work, plus avoid most of the shaping and seaming that comes typical sweaters. This pattern is perfect for less experienced crocheters looking to make a super wearable first garment or more advanced crocheters who want an easy, satisfying project that’s different from the same old cardigan pattern.

    Skills required include double crochet, working in the round, double crochet decreases and seaming (tutorial photos included in the pattern below).

    Overall Pattern + Sizing Notes:
    • Pattern is written in smallest size with larger sizes following in parenthesis.

    • Sweater is constructed by creating two hexagons, folding them and then seaming them together at the back and top of arms. Each hexagon begins the same, but then undergoes some adjustments to make two hexagons that mirror each other.

    • In order to make the sleeve side of the hexagon (Side 1) more fitted than the other sides, a dc3tog decrease is worked on the even rounds after Round 2. See photo below for details on this stitch.

    • Ch 3 at the beginning of a row/round always counts as a dc.

    • Ch 4 at the beginning of a row/round always counts as a dc and a ch-1 sp.

    How to decrease in double crochet - step by step tutorial

    Main Hexagons

    Notes:
    • If you're a visual learner, you might find the stitch chart at end of printable pattern PDF very helpful. You can purchase the PDF here.

    • Because of the dc3tog decrease on rounds 4, 6, 8, 10, etc, Side 1 will always have fewer total stitches/spaces than the other sides. This is intentional. (See photo above for instructions on dc3tog.)

    • Your hexagons will be wavy and they will not lay flat. This is correct and allows for the slack to fold them into the sleeves and sweater body.

    Make 2.

    Foundation: Ch 4, sl st to first ch to join.

    Round 1: Ch 3 (counts as 1 dc here and throughout), 2 dc in ring, ch 1, [3 dc in ring, ch 1] 5 times, sl st to 3rd ch from beginning of round to join. (3 dc per side)

    Hexagon Extensions

    Notes:
    • Extra length is added to certain hexagon sides to extend the back, bottom and sleeves of the sweater. Right and left sides are worked differently, so please follow separate instructions for both.

    • Pattern refers to different sides of the hexagon by number, which is illustrated in the chart below. Think of these side numbers as fixed to the orientation of looking at the right side of the hexagon. For example, Side 3 is always Side 3, whether you flip the hexagon over or not. Side 3 does not become Side 5, just because the hexagon is flipped to the wrong side.

    TIP: If you’re feeling confused, lay hexagon out with RS facing and safety pin a paper “name tag” to each side so that you can easily identify them when you turn your hexagon over to the WS to begin attach yarn.

    • Each extension is worked back and forth in rows.

    • When working Row 1, check to make sure ch-1 sps line up with ch-1 spaces from last ch-1 sp row of hexagon.

      Hello. I am trying to gather my supplies for this cardigan. I am making the L/Xl. The pattern states I need 670 yards of yarn for my selected size. However, the Vanna skeins contain 254 yards . This does not equal the 7 x 254 = 1778. Can you please tell me what is correct? I am waiting for your response before I purchase my yarn. To sum up my problem 670 yards stated for my size vs. 1778 yards computed (7 x 254).
      Thank you. Sharon

      Thank you so much for correcting the stitch count on the extentsion. As I am so anxious to get this done for my friend. She has been through so much this last year.. She is an older lady and I had already showed her the picture of it and she just loved it. I am doing it in a Seafoam Green by Yarn Zee, Soft Secret. I will post when done. I am going to get started back up so I can try a few of the others, I almost gave up competely. Lol. At 72 yrs old, I am set in my way and just hated to not finish it.

      Hi Jess,

      I am enjoying making the Hexagon cardigan but am also coming up with the wrong stitch count on the extensions. I have redone the extension several times & tried adding stitches but I still come up with the wrong stitch count. Should I just follow what the pattern says to do & not count the stitches. I purchased the pattern & it matches the one on the website so I can't figure out what I am doing wrong.

      Thank you

      Hi, Jess. Just started this pattern. Happy with how you’ve done the sleeves. I made two campfire cardigans, one Aran, one DK, for myself and my eldest daughter, and I made the smaller size and then added more rows to the bottom, front, and back. So I kind of did the same, but a different way! I quite fancy making this one in Aran for a thicker autumn cardi. Think it might be nice and warm. Love your patterns, keep up the good work!

        OK, I have put in to comments and still haven’t received any reply. Can anyone please help me? On the extension for the small it says I should have 95 sts and I keep coming up with 93. Am I supposed to have two stitches in the corners and not one like the pattern implies. I haven’t had any problems up until now. I have watched the video, paid for the pattern and I am still for some reason not getting it.

          Hey Jackie,

          I will go take a closer look now, but I think you have uncovered a mistake in the stitch count. I'm sorry about that! If you're following the video and everything is looking good in your sweater, I wouldn't worry about the 2 stitches. I will update the pattern here if necessary (as well as the PDF) as soon as I've gotten it sorted out.

          Thank you!
          Jess
