Description
Whether you want a flat hexagon and half hexagon for a scarf, blanket, or bag, or you are looking for a fuller hexagon as the base of the popular hexagon cardigans, this class has you covered. Once you get the hang of hexagons, you’ll learn how to get the perfect, most flattering fit for you hexagon cardigan, no matter what your size or the size of your yarn.
Class Sessions
Session 1: Introduction and Supplies
2:14
No matter what weight yarn you want to use for your hexagon project, the math will work as long as you have an appropriate hook size that is comfortable to work with and makes a pleasing fabric.
Session 2: Flat Hexagons
20:30
Flat hexagons are terrific for any motif-based project other than a hexagon cardigan. Use them for scarves, blankets and sweaters made traditional motif style. In this video we will make a traditional hexagon, and a fill-in hexagon to fill in any gaps to make straight sides.
Session 3: Granny Hexagons for Cardigans
11:30
The hexagon that forms the basis of a hexagon cardigan is a little different. It is fuller and does not lay as flat – this is because when we fold the hexagon to form our sleeves and fronts/back, we need that little bit of extra real estate to make sure the cardigan is comfortable.
Session 4: Customizing The Fit for Your Hexagon Cardigan
19:34
There are so many ways you can change the fit for your hexagon cardigan, and you should explore them all, then decide which works best for the sweater you have in mind! You can change the width, length, or sleeve length by adding motifs, or rows of granny stitches.
Session 5: Finishing Details on the Hexagon Cardigan
13:31
Now that you have a well-fitted cardigan, it is time to make it your own with individual details like hem and cuff finishes, and collars.
