Pattern Overview
How to Crochet the Hexagon Crochet Sweater
The Hexagon Crochet Sweater is constructed by creating multiple African Flower hexagons and half hexagons, which are then assembled according to a schematic. The hexagons are worked in the round, while the half hexagons are made in turning rows. This pattern also includes sections for the front, back, and sleeves, which are crocheted separately.
Once all pieces are completed, they are joined together to form the sweater. An edging of single crochet, back post double crochet, and front post double crochet stitches is added around the wrists and neck for a polished finish. Finally, fasten threads and weave in the ends to complete your project.

If the gauge is wrong, you might need to change your hook. Go up in crochet hook size if your stitches are smaller & go down in crochet hook size if your stitches are bigger.
