Hello creative minds at diyhub. You are all welcome to my blog. Wishing you all a happy new week.
It's your favourite crochet artist and before I share my craft as usual I have something important to say to my fellow entrepreneur. Whether you're a business owner, or you're building a brand or a crochet artist just like me please don't give up. Be consistent, be patient , don't build something because you want quick results. You need to build a foundation first and not just any foundation a strong one.
Crochet has taught me this and today I want to guide you all on how I crochet this beautiful hexagon jacket for a client last December.
I already lost hope. Imagine how I felt when I'm in the midst of my fellow crochet artist. And they post FOTH (fresh off the hook) everyday and I have no project to present.
I'm a human and trust me I wasn't jealous. Instead of feeling jealous I celebrate them then look into myself to know what I was doing wrong. Then I realise I need to be consistent.
I wasn't posting on my social media handles how was I supposed to get audience and clients.
It actually doesn't work that way either. I was once consistent and gave up because I wasn't getting enough views so I stopped. (Mind you I was aiming for quick results) And that was the problem but I worked on it.
This project was one of my biggest projects last year and I promised to share it with you all.
MATERIALS:
❤ ️ Yarn (liLac, baby pink, white, and red).
❤️ 3.5mm (my favourite).
❤ ️ Darning needle (To weave in ends).
❤️ And a pair of scissors.
PROCEDURE:
STEP 1: I made a magic ring.
STEP 2: I place 6 double crochet clusters into the magic ring (3Dc Ch2, 3Dc)
To close the row I slip stitch into the first double crochet.
STEP 3: I turn my work, and I slip stitch into the first chain 2 space. Then I chain 3 which stands as my first double crochet. In the same space I added two 2 double crochet.
STEP 4: I chain 2 and place 3 double crochet in the next chain 2 space. Then I chain 2 again and I place 3 double crochet in the same space to create our first hexagon corner.
STEP 5: I repeat the same pattern. I chain 2, and place 3 double, chain 2 and 3 double crochet in the same space.
STEP 6: I repeat the same process across the row. (A total of 6 corners).
STEP 7: I attached my next yarn into the corner space. (You can attach in any corner of your choice).
Then I secure my yarn and chain 3.
STEP 8: I place 2 double crochet in the same space.
The more you increase your row the more chain 2 space you get before the corners.
So in this row we have one chain 2 space before the corners so in that space I placed 3 double crochet.
STEP 9: then in the corner space i place 3dc, ch2, and 3dc. So I repeat that pattern across the row until the end. And to close this row, since i have an incomplete corner. I Chained 2 and i place 3 double in the same space where i did my first 3 double crochet of the row. Then i chain 2 and i slip stitch into the forst double crochet.
I crochet 2 rows for each colour. It all depends on how you want to mix your yarn.
STEP 10: I repeat the same process. 3 double crochet in every chain 2 space, then 3dc, ch2, and 3dc again in every corner space.
Very easy and beginner friendly.
The hexagon jacket is coming out nice. You don't have to join the arm.
All you have to do is pick 2 edges of your craft and join together.
Place it neatly on a flat surface and it will give you the hand and body of your jacket.
I REPEATED THE ENTIRE PROCESS AND NOW I HAVE 2 SIDES.
STEP 11: I joined the hands with single crochet. And to give it a fitted neckline I worked 2 rows of front pose and back pose double crochet.
What is a jacket without a trouser to slay?

Soon I will drop a tutorial on how I crochet this beautiful trouser.
