If there’s one crochet project that beautifully blends classic charm with a modern twist, it’s the Granny Hexagon Cardigan. This cozy and stylish piece is created entirely from hexagons—just two cleverly folded granny hexagons form the base of the entire cardigan! It’s a genius design that transforms a beloved vintage motif into a fresh, wearable garment.
At Crochet Easy, we love sharing patterns that are both creative and comforting, and this one is definitely a favorite. It’s perfect for layering—light enough for spring and autumn, and easy to adapt for winter by switching to a thicker yarn.
Granny squares have long been a staple in the crochet world, but this pattern offers a fun and modern twist. By using granny hexagons instead of squares, you create a more fluid structure with relaxed, flowing sleeves that give the cardigan a trendy, effortless vibe.
