Hey girl! Watching this as I lay here in my hospital bed after breast cancer surgery. All is fine, just a lot of pain as you can imagine, worst part tho is being super bored and I have to be here until tomorrow afternoon😝😅 Anyways, just wanted to say thank you for lifting my spirits with your awesome humour (which btw is totally me😂), and wouldn’t you know it, you have just made my absolute favorite design ever!!! I’d SO wear that!!😍👌🏼👏🏼👏🏼 Off to sleep now as they’ve just given me some more of that "good stuff"😵‍💫🥴🤣 Much Love from Oslo, Norway♥️

i made my mom a giant granny hexagon blanket for Christmas and can confirm, after a while one line around takes FOREVER :')

I’m currently doing a hexagon cardigan too and I’ve done that same mistake 😂 I did undo it luckily I wasn’t too far into the cardigan. But I found another one where I only did two dc, it didn’t look as goofy as the 1dc did so I left that one. Loved the outcome, the colours look so good together

Hello Michelle, I love the cardigan, and the colors are great. The colors takes me back, being a child of the 70's. Funny thing, I made a Hexagon cardi but in GREY, with cuffs 😉😄. Ha-ha! I did that same mistake at the beginning of mine too. You did a wonderful job and thank you for the video.

So gorgeous I'm sure it's so soft with cotton it's going to wear beautifully! This color palette works so great as a cardi! There is math involved to make it cropped I've made so many of these already 🥰🥰 and have absolutely done the same missed corner step on the second sleeve!! I feel your pain 😭 the frogging pain 🐸 The options are limitless! I made a traditional rainbow one...pastel rainbow...neon rainbow.....fall tones...and nearly every person in my life has one I also made single crochet squares and daisies as pockets...that hold nothing actually 😆

I made one of these last week dark brown tan lightbrown. I added three big buttons on the bottom so you can close it and it looks way better. Yours is so pretty im tempted to make a new colorful one

I went back and recounted and made sure I had six sides. I'm so glad I had six as this yarn doesn't like to frog, wool and acrylic blend. Great tutorial!

I was looking forward to making one of theses cardigans but your experience has brought me to my senses. Ill buy a cardigan and crochet a knee rug.

I love the colors you used! I made 2 of these last week. The second one I made smaller hexagons than recommended. I added a few rows to the back seam before joining. Then I lengthened the bottom and sleeves. This made the sleeves less full for a completely different fit!

THANK YOU!!!!!1 I've started crocheting this cardigan about 2 months ago and it was my own idea to make it oversized. Cus all tutorials I saw were about small, like skinny cardigans, and personally I didn't like it... I didn't have enough knowledge to finish it, to make cuffs by myself, so I delayed finishing to better times. And now I'm SOOOO glad to see that video with explanations... I think today I'll finish it, thankfully to you!

I was in the middle of making my own hexagon sweater while I was watching this, but only doing one row of each color (aran, color, aran, another color, aran, another color, etc.). But while I was watching your video and how you ended up only doing one row of brown where you seamed the sleeves and the back together, I realized how awesome that looked, so I am frogging my sweater and starting again with two rows of each color because I know how awesome it will look.

I'm telling ya, steam blocking makes all the difference in the world. Your poofy corner dilemma would be a non issue. I use my cleaning steamer and will block all projects. Takes out the clunky homemade look in a good way. Beautiful job btw! I've been eyeballing this project but am still on the fence.

Just found your channel. Love your videos! I’m actually working on my first hexagon cardigan, and I did the same thing 😅 on the second I only made 5 sides and didn’t notice until I was SO FAR into it 🥲 Absolutely love this oversized look and the colors at AMAZING together❤

Thank you for being REAL when it comes to crochet. Mistakes??? Grrrr. I have been crocheting for 50 years and have made plenty of them. And frogging? Grrrr. After decades I realized that most mistakes really aren't noticeable to others (unless they are experienced crocheters, of course) so I decided to embrace them and stop being a perfectionist. It was a real blessing in my life. Now, as long as they aren't too obvious or effect the pattern detrimentally I smile and move on. Usually an increase or decrease in a later spot can fix the damage. If not, well, hello frogging. And I get a silent kick out of seeing some item I have gifted knowing the secret of the boo boo and its location! Nefarious? Maybe. But the recipient of the gift never is the wiser! teehee And my life is so much better having broken out of perfectionism! PS: I saw another crafter who solved the huge sleeve issue by working a 3dc decrease in just the one corner space. It pulled the work together and made the sleeve much slimmer. You could still pop on a cuff but it no longer needed one. Happy crocheting! 🧶 PPS: Those colors were the exact ones I used for the first afghan I ever crocheted. Told you I'd been at it for 50 years!💞

When you accidentally made 5 sides and not 6 on the 2nd side, I giggled to myself because I did that same exact thing but I was already like 3 rows from the end. Good job on this though, i love the colors and how it turned out. Mine is tan, rusty orange, and an ombré brown yarn. I made 3 granny squares to put in the back and I love how it turned out for me

First time seeing you and I joined because I enjoy your upbeat spirit, and believe me I need it. Love the video, I have been watching cardigan videos for days now and I might be to tired now to try but you give me hope.😄❤❤❤

We have had an eerily similar experience 😂 I'm almost done with the second panel and so far I have: Found several clusters that consist of 1, 2 and 4 dc's Worried my head off about having enough yarn on the first panel Found out at a similar point as you that my second panel was a pentagon because I'd forgotten a corner in the second or third row. Thanks for the heads up about thick stripes of colour when sewing together, I wouldn't have thought of that!

Omg I’m starting my hexagon cardigan with the same colors you have! I didn’t even come across your video until after buying them. Keepin it groovy😎

i love a good hexagon cardigan! when i made mine, i added some length to the side that will be the back so that it sits better on my shoulders. I love the colours you chose though, really fits your aesthetics

I'm currently making a cardigan from Hobbii yarn too!! However, I did not read the width size so mine is going very slowly since I'm using a 4 mm hook 😅🥲 I'm using jewel toned colors! Once I finish this one I'm thinking of doing an orange 70s inspired color scheme.

As soon as i saw the thumbnail,, i said out loud , " wow this looks amazing, ",,, and how true it was. WOW, what amazing work you have done here,,,, , imagine how much a shop would charge to buy this,,,, £ 200. !!!! i bettcha ,,, if this was sold in london,, it would go for that ,, or more,,!!!!,, the colours are just the best. My heart sank when you had to un- pick it,, eeeekkkk,,, but it was worth it,,,,, last thing " IM A BIRD , IM A BIRD ",,, love it. 🐦🐦🐦🐦🐦🐦

This was so fun to watch. I love that you show the problem areas. I made one of these for my daughter and she loves it.

Ok, I bumped into your channel, and your introduction was just groovy😎! The colors of your cardigan, and your creative stuff in the background, just gave off 70’s vibes. In the words of Austin Powers, “It was groovy baby!”😉

Im also making a hexagon granny cardi and when you said 5 sides I cringed and was so sad for you. It looks amazing ♡

I absolutely cannot watch anything while crafting that I want to pay attention to! So I always end up watching the same shows over and over. 😅I've been thinking about adding one of these to my list, but somehow could not wrap my brain around how they were meant to work. But I get it now! I also have to say that before you put the cuffs on, all I could think was that, if it was longer, it would make a fantastic 70s house coat, and I was feeling major Mrs. Roper vibes!

Those colours are beautiful! Would you consider doing a tutorial on how you do the ribbing? I just can’t do it for the life of me 🤦🏻‍♀️

Haha i’m laughing!!! the mess up with the dcs! i’d just keep going😂😂😂

I totally dig your colors! The hexagon cardigan is definitely on my list to do soon!

Those colors you picked are SO GOOD!!!!

Love this so much :)) I have a tip for you since I've made this before, work it up not worrying about the length of the sleeves just how long you want it to be at your waist, then cut it off and re start it at the sleeves basically doing the same thing but working in the round cause it's a circle sleeve, and making no corners so just 3dc, ch1, 3dc, ch1 until the sleeve is the length that you want, hope that makes sense if not let me know!

I made the same mistake in the one I made lol the only putting 1 stitch in a space but I just left them since it was for me and you can't tell once it's all done

Such an amazing piece you've created! The color palette is so nice and it looks beautiful on you (as if you were meant to each other 🤣). Now I feel inspired to make a hexagon cardigan too, however, my unfinished projects started to pile up soooo it'll wait I guess

Hey hey! Love the video! You know you can just do a standing stitch to fix those few mistakes without taking it apart! Saved me with my blanket lol

Did you just create a new pattern ? Ladies? A Pentagon vs Hexagon. Would it not then make it slimmer thru the sleeves? What size hook, wt of yarn, how many skeins. How much would one have to pay to have it made? The cotton will be more breathable than acrylic. You got me out of bed with this project. I have scrolled thru twice. I really like your plating or ribbing. I would venture to start it a few inches from the corner (I do that when I apply binding to a quilt) It will give you wiggle room. If you drop a stitch you can pick it up. I thought why not take your yarn and crochet the stitches needed into that space(blocking it later)and burying the ends then carrying on with your rows. I have an Afghan in this colour scheme that my mom made for my new home in the 70's. I'll have to stop by again, love your optimism thank you and your followers for sharing 🎉.

I have all those colors in my stash except the light green but some green. Gonna make my 3rd one using these colors. I like end if the arms.

if it makes you feel any better, i made the EXACT same mistake, but i finished it before i realized i did 5 sizes instead of 6. AGONY. almost a full day just down the drain! love the colors you picked, mine is similar but with gray instead of pale yellow. love the video!

Looks like a 70s appliance store. Lol. ❤

New subscriber! Fun video! I feel inspired and love the colors!

Love the green on the cuff and it is nice the way you're making it. I make mistakes crocheting from time to time and it is so frustrating whenever I have to take off the yarn... Felt like" I'm not alone" when I was watching your video 😆

ooooo i’ve been seeing these around the inter webs and this is my sign to finally make one!!! i’m thinking a cotton one with an oversized needle so it’s quite drapey but not too thick. i want it to be suitable for all seasons! :0

❤The color combo is gorgeous!🎉

That cardigan is so you!!! Great job!

This turned out so good! I love Hobbii yarn and the colours you chose are perfect together 😍😁 Do you mind sharing how to do the cuffings/ending if the sleeves? I have no clue on how to do ribboning but I love the look of the sleeves on this cardigan ❤

So im working on my first ever cardigan, I actually started it right befor I found this video. 😂❤ hoping it comes out decent looking as I have modified the *normal method of a granny square pattern (well hexagon design). Instead of doing 3 stitches im doing 2. Kinda whinging it... Not that you need to know all this information lol. 🤘🏼😊Just wanted to tell you that seeing you're video has inspired me to continue.

Do you have a pattern/tutorial recommendation for the ribbing? I really like the way it turned out.

this is too cute!! i love the colors and i can definitely agree with the cotton being top tier!

can you stop making garments I want to copy? I cannot afford to keep purchasing all this yarn!!!!! LOL - seriously thanks for being such a fun inspiration for all things retro crochet

I used the granny square method but made it alot bigger to make a blanket for my friends baby sister, I think its a 1metre x 1metre and I can say, the bigger it gets the longer it does take to finish just one side 😅

I also sometimes do one or two dc instead of 3 when I'm making granny things 😅 I am also making a hexi cardigan for myself right now!

Right before I watched this I watched a video of someone else making a granny hexagon cardigan and they accidentally made both sides pentagons instead and didn't notice until they were sewing it together so at least you notice early on so you could fix it

i love this .. can you please let me know what size hook you use and how many rows you made .. thank you in advance

Hey! I just made a hexigon cardigan. If you stop doing full rounds when the sleeves are the size you want, then you can just keep going around on the other 3 sides to get the length and breadth of the body the way you want it. Just found your channel and am loving it. But as a fellow Eastern Canadian(PEI)…skein is pronounced skane I think. Are you originally from Ontario?

DUDE I DID THE 5 SIDE THING TOO IM LITERALLY UNDOING MY WORK RN

Gosh I love the color skeme

Hobbii’s orange, green and also purple cotton are really nice colors. I also have some Lammy Yarns Rio 4 purple it doesn’t compare. And I can confirm the Hobbii cotton is really soft. The arms looked kind of like arms of a kimono before the cuff.

I haven't even watched the whole video yet, but I wanted to comment that my mom has that same white ceramic cat!!

Beautiful colors 💚 Love the Futurama reference! 😂

Love it. Love the colours too! 😍

I might've missed it, but I don't think you mentioned how much yarn in total this took. How many skeins of each yarn should I buy if I wanted to make this?

Hey girl hey!! Love the cardigan!! Love the hexagon & really love the cuffs. Would you please pass on the pattern?! I really want to make this!! Please, please, please, please!!!!

The colours remind me of a burrito 🌯

I did this but it still works !!!!

I can’t tell you how many times I make a pentagon to start

i need to make one aaaa i love the colors and it turned out sooo cute 😍😍

omg i need to make one of these! this is so cute!

Thus is so beautiful

Did you make the sweater you are wearing? If so is there a pattern?

Do you have a tutorial to do it?

great job! and you actually can make the sleeves longer, you just have to do them separately

I’m about to make one of these for my husband. My only issue is the sleeves!! Big sleeves are cool for women but I don’t think it would look good for a man. Idk! I have to figure it out!

hey love the cardigan i was wondering how many rows u did in urs?

My mum had that bedding!

Wow Michelle! it turmed out so so good! I love how every project u make just screams you, with colors and patterns! I saw how much yarn you had left but did you have 10 of every color when u started? more, less? c:

Omg this is to die for levels of gorgeous. I always think of cardigans as squishy wool and acrylic but I clearly am missing out on making one in cotton!!

What pattern do you use?

Heyyy if you mentioned it in the video I must have missed it but what hook size did you use?

Do you have a tutorial for this cardigan? Sorry to bother 😅

I want to get started on this prject and buy that yarn, how many yards did you use?

Is there a pattern??

I love the colours, but for some reason it is giving me a Scooby-Doo vibe. 😅

Hii! What size hook did you use?

Hey I just joined the Patreon and was hoping that this pattern would be on there at the tier I joined at. Is there another place I can find this pattern?

I was looking for the size hook you used and how many rows did you make for this size? Is this a medium?

My Hobbii order is arriving today for the same yarn and I'm hyped ya'll! I've also not used cotton for a huge wearable and seeing this video has me even more excited to start this project! If you get the chance to reply, what hook size are you using?

Do,you have a written pattern?

I want to make hexagon cardigan with chunky yarn . Can you help, I need measurements for medium size

Hi Michelle, allow me to direct you to a wonderful lady who goes by Craft and a Cuppa. She works with hexagon cardis ALOT. I mean almost everything she makes is a hexi cardi or hexi sweater. Its amazing, please check her out, she is fab. Also, well done on your first Hexi. The colour choices are awesome 💚🧡🤍🤎

The colorrss 🤩 also is there a video or tutorial with that brown sweater you are wearing? 🥰

beautiful, love the colors! is there a pattern that you followed or was this freestyled?

HEY I LOVE BIRDS TOO

My biggest mistake was when I made a sunflower cardigan and I finished the whole back panel and a bit of the front just to realize my pattern had multiple typos so this made the granny square wrong, needless to say I refused to fix the back panel lol

I know this video is about the hexagon granny cardigan, but I AM DYING for your jumper, is it handmade?

What size hook did you use

I was wondering how many chains you used in your corners

Isnt it skein...like reign? The ei is pronounced ay. I know people love being corrected on pronunciation! I'm seriously wondering how it's pronounced as people say it so many different ways.

How did you do the cuff? Did you decrease?

Did you make the brown pull over you’re wearing??

Our struggles were literally reversed My first panel was a pentagon and not a hexagon and I somehow had a cluster of 5 instead of three

Dane here - it's Hobbii as in hobby 😌

How many rows would you say you did for each hexagon
