This image shows hexagon crochet motifs with a floral or puff-like center — a common design used in blankets, bags, and coasters. Here’s how to make one like in your image:
🧶 Materials:
- 3 yarn colors (e.g. center, petal, and border) — cotton or acrylic.
- Crochet hook suitable for your yarn (usually 3.0–4.0 mm).
- Scissors
- Yarn needle for weaving ends.
🌼 Crochet Hexagon Motif Tutorial (Detailed)
Round 1 – Center Circle
Color A (e.g., yellow or teal center)
- Make a magic ring (or chain 4 and join to form a ring).
- Ch 3 (counts as first dc).
- Work 11 dc into the ring (you will have 12 dc total including the ch-3).
- Join with a slip stitch to the top of the beginning ch-3.
- Fasten off.
🟡 Tip: Keep the ring tight by pulling the tail gently to close the hole.
Round 2 – Petal Layer (Puff Stitches)
Color B (white in your image)
- Attach yarn in any dc stitch from the previous round.
- Ch 1 (doesn’t count as a stitch).
- In the same stitch, make a puff stitch:
- Yarn over, insert hook into stitch, yarn over, pull up a loop (you have 3 loops).
- Repeat 2 more times (7 loops on hook).
- Yarn over and pull through all 7 loops.
- Ch 1 to secure the puff.
- (Puff stitch, ch 1) in each of the next 11 dc stitches around.
- You will have 12 puff stitches total, separated by ch-1 spaces.
- Join with a slip stitch into the top of the first puff stitch.
- Fasten off.
🤍 Tip: Keep puff stitches consistent — pull loops to even height for a neat round.
Round 3 – Shaping into a Hexagon
Color C (e.g., teal or yellow outline)
- Join new yarn in any ch-1 space between puff stitches.
- Ch 1 (doesn’t count as stitch).
- Work pattern:
- (1 sc, 1 hdc, 2 dc, 1 hdc, 1 sc) all in the same ch-1 space → forms one corner petal group.
- Skip next ch-1 space, and in the next one repeat (1 sc, 1 hdc, 2 dc, 1 hdc, 1 sc).
- Repeat around → you’ll have 6 corner groups total.
- Join with slip stitch to first sc.
- Fasten off.
💠 Tip: Don’t crochet too tightly here — this round gives the motif its 6-sided shape.
Round 4 – Border (Defining the Hexagon)
Same color or new contrasting color
- Join yarn in the top of any corner (the top of the 2 dc group).
- Ch 3 (counts as dc), dc in same stitch, ch 2, 2 dc again in same stitch → first corner made.
- Dc in each stitch along side until next corner (should be about 7–8 dc).
- (2 dc, ch 2, 2 dc) in the next corner.
- Repeat around.
- Join with slip stitch to top of first ch-3.
- Fasten off and weave in ends neatly.
🤍 Optional: Add another round of single crochet (sc) for a thicker border.
🪡 Joining Hexagons
You can make many motifs and join them as you go:
- Slip stitch join: Insert hook through back loops of two motifs and slip stitch together.
- Whip stitch join: Use a yarn needle and sew edges together invisibly.
✨ Final Look
Each hexagon has:
- A 12-dc circle center
- 12 puff petals
- 6 corners forming a hexagon
- A neat outer border
Perfect for making blankets, bags, or table runners.
