Easy Abstract Pattern Hexagon Square

A hexagon crochet square is a small, flat, six-sided shape that is crocheted in a hexagonal pattern, typically used in various projects such as blankets, shawls, and home decor. It is a versatile shape, and the hexagon motif is a popular choice for creating textured, colorful, and geometric designs.  The hexagon crochet square starts at the center and works outward, with the number of stitches increasing with each round to form the six sides. Each round typically adds a new layer of stitches, and you can change colors, create patterns, or add different stitches to create a unique design.

How to Join Hexagons

Once you've made several hexagons, you can join them together by using a whip stitch, slip stitch, or join-as-you-go technique, depending on your preferred look. They can be arranged in a variety of ways (like a honeycomb or scattered pattern) to form larger projects.
