Crochet Half Solid Hexagon (Pointed & Squared)

Crochet Half Solid Hexagon Two Ways (Pointed & Squared)

I recently updated my solid hexagon pattern with brand new photos and a video tutorial and I’ve been crocheting a bunch of them for a new honeycomb baby blanket (coming soon).

To fill in the gaps between the full hexagons and give the blanket straight edges, I’m using half hexagons.

There are 2 different shapes you can make when crocheting half solid hexagons: pointed and squared, and you will need both designs to fill in the edges of your hexagon baby blanket.

Today I will show you how to make both pointed and squared versions with a step by step written tutorial and video for those who learn better from watching tutorials.

I will also show you how to make the hexagons as big or small as you like to fit your hexagon baby blanket design.

POINTED HALF SOLID HEXAGON – THE PATTERN

Below you will find the video tutorial and the written instructions for the pointed half solid hexagon.

The full solid hexagons I am making for the bee baby blanket have 5 rounds, so the tutorial will show you how to create yours with 5 rows, but also how to continue to make them as big as you like.

Written Pattern

Pattern Notes

• ch3 at the beginning of each row counts as a double crochet
• unlike the full hexagons which are crocheted in the round, the half version is crocheted back and forth.

Start by making a magic ring

Row 1: work inside the magic ring, ch5, 2dc, ch2, 2dc, ch2, 1dc, turn

Row 2: ch3, (dc, ch2, dc) in chain space, 2dc, (dc, ch2, dc) in chain space, 2dc, (dc, ch2, dc) in chain space, dc, turn

Row 3: ch3,dc, (dc, ch2, dc) in chain space, 4dc, (dc, ch2, dc) in chain space, 4dc, (dc, ch2, dc) in chain space, 2dc, turn

Row 4: ch3, 2dc, (dc, ch2, dc) in chain space, 6dc, (dc, ch2, dc) in chain space, 6dc, (dc, ch2, dc) in chain space, 3dc, turn

Row 5: ch3, 3dc, (dc, ch2, dc) in chain space, 8dc, (dc, ch2, dc) in chain space, 8dc, (dc, ch2, dc) in chain space, 4dc, fasten off (turn if you want to continue making more rows)

To make your pointed half hexagon bigger, just continue with the same pattern and dc in each stitch between the chain spaces and (dc, ch2, dc) in each chain space.

SQUARED HALF SOLID HEXAGON – THE PATTERN

Written Pattern

Pattern Notes

• ch3 at the beginning of each row counts as a double crochet
• unlike the full hexagons which are crocheted in the round, the half version is crocheted back and forth.
• you will need to dc increase (2dc in the same stitch) at the beginning and end of each row, so after you ch3 at the beginning of each row, make the next dc in the very first stitch (and together will count as a dc increase)

Start by making a magic ring

Row 1: work inside the magic ring, ch3, dc, ch2, 2dc, ch2, 2dc, turn

Row 2: ch3, dc in the very first stitch, dc, (dc, ch2, dc) in chain space, dc, (dc, ch2, dc) in chain space, dc, dc in the very last stitch, turn

Row 3: ch3, dc in the very first stitch, 3dc, (dc, ch2, dc) in chain space, 4dc, (dc, ch2, dc) in chain space, 3dc, 2dc in the very last stitch, turn

Row 4: ch3, dc in the very first stitch, 5dc, (dc, ch2, dc) in chain space, 6dc, (dc, ch2, dc) in chain space, 5dc, 2dc in the very last stitch, turn

Row 5: ch3, dc in the very first stitch, 7dc, (dc, ch2, dc) in chain space, 8dc, (dc, ch2, dc) in chain space, 7dc, 2dc in the very last stitch, turn

To make your squared half hexagon bigger, just continue with the same pattern by dc increasing (2dc in same stitch) at the beginning and end of each row, dc in each stitch between the chain spaces and (dc, ch2, dc) in each chain space.
