Hexagon Geometric Crochet Blanket

Hexagon Geometric Crochet Blanket by Joanne Johncey

Project Overview

This downloadable crochet pattern creates a geometric hexagon blanket perfect for babies and home décor. The design features a patchwork aesthetic built from individual hexagonal motifs that are crocheted separately and assembled together. The finished baby blanket measures 70cm x 70cm, making it an ideal size for a crib or small throw.

What Is Being Made

The Hexagon Geometric Crochet Blanket is constructed from multiple hexagonal granny square-style motifs that are joined together to form a cohesive blanket. Rather than following a strict color sequence, the pattern encourages a random, patchwork approach to color placement, allowing crafters to create unique color combinations with each project. This design is particularly versatile for stash busting, as you can continue adding hexagons until your blanket reaches your desired size.

Yarn and Materials

This pattern calls for 500g of DK weight yarn to complete the baby blanket size. The designer used Stylecraft Special DK in five coordinating colors: 100g White 1001, 100g Silver 1203, 100g Matador 1010, 100g Midnight 1011, and 100g Royal 1117. However, the pattern is flexible and encourages using yarn oddments from your stash in any color combination. You will also need a 4mm crochet hook to work this project.

Techniques and Stitches Used

This intermediate-level crochet pattern employs fundamental crochet techniques suitable for crafters with some experience. The hexagon motifs are constructed using the following stitches:

• Chain (CH) – The foundation stitch used to begin the hexagon
• Slip Stitch (Sl st) – Used to join rounds and create seamless transitions
• Double Crochet (DC) – A basic stitch that forms the structure of the hexagon
• Half Treble (Htr) – A medium-height stitch that adds texture and dimension
• Treble (TR) – A taller stitch used in UK crochet terminology
• Double Treble (DTR) – An even taller stitch for creating open, lacy sections

Pattern Structure and Gauge

Each hexagon motif is worked over 4 rounds and measures 12cm x 12cm when completed. The pattern begins with a chain-4 foundation that is joined into a ring using a slip stitch. The hexagons are then joined together to create the final blanket dimensions. Gauge is noted as not particularly critical for this blanket, making it a forgiving project for beginners attempting intermediate-level work. The flexible gauge requirement means slight variations in tension will not significantly impact the final result.

Skill Level and Suitability

Rated as intermediate difficulty, this pattern is ideal for crocheters who have mastered basic stitches and are ready to work with motif-based construction. The repetitive nature of creating multiple hexagons makes it an excellent project for building confidence and consistency in stitch work. The patchwork color approach adds visual interest while the straightforward geometric shape keeps the construction manageable.
