I mentioned on Wednesday that hexagons are actually my favorite shape for motifs, so I thought today I would share the pattern for the classic Solid Granny Hexagon. This simple motif can be adjusted to your preferred size and joined, or you can just make one huge hexagon as your final project. This post is part of my Granny Square Month series.

This would be a great motif to make into a blanket, scarf, shawl. I have several joining tutorials if you decide to make a bunch!

• How to join with slip stitch,
• How to join with single crochet,
• How to join with mattress stitch,
• How to join with whipstitch, and
• How to join-as-you-go.

Different joins work well for different types of projects, so do a little experimenting and see what works for you.
