How to Crochet Half Hexagons: Written & Video Tutorial

I recently finished a hexagon blanket that I made out of a lot of my scrap yarn and I’m so happy with how it turned out! I used half hexagons on the top and bottom sides to even the rows out and I thought that I would share with you how I made them!

If you want the tutorial for making the regular hexagons, you can find that IN THIS POST!

I’ve seen people make hexagons blankets completely out of just regular hexagons and others use the half hexagons to help even some of the edges out. I decided that I liked the look with the half hexagons added.

Using scrap yarn to make these half hexagons is a great way to use up leftover yarn that you have that you don’t know what to do with. And it makes for such a colorful and fun project to work on!

Half Hexagon Pattern (step-by-step tutorial)

Terminology is in US terms

Things you will need:

• Yarn with a corresponding hook.  I used a #4 worsted weight yarn & a H / 5.0mm hook
• Yarn Needle / Tapestry Needle
• Scissors
• Tape Measure

Size:

• Each hexagon is approx. 3.75” across after 3 completed rounds

Abbreviation / Stitch Key:

• ch = chain
• st = stitch (es)
• sl st = slip stitch
• sk = skip
• mc = magic circle / magic ring
• sc = single crochet
• dc = double crochet
• tr = treble crochet
• sp = space
• yo = yarn over
• t = turn

Go!

Row 1: ch 4, working in 4th ch st from your hook (dc, ch 2, 2 dc, ch 2, 2 dc)

**The 1st 3 chains that we skipped will count as a dc st.

Row 2: ch 3 (counts as a st here and throughout), t, dc in same st and in next st, (dc, ch 2, dc) in ch 2 sp, dc in next 2 st, (dc, ch 2, dc) in ch 2 sp, dc in next st, 2 dc in last st (top of ch 3)

Row 3: ch 3, t, dc in same st, * dc in each st until you reach next ch 2 sp, (dc, ch 2, dc) in ch 2 sp,* repeat * to *, dc in each st until you reach the last st, 2 dc in last st

Keep repeating row 3 until hexagon reaches desired size. I only did 3 rows for both my regular hexagons and half hexagons.
