Graceful Elegance: The Rosalie Crochet Hexagon

Hey Gang, Jane back with another crochet granny square tutorial. This one is a graceful and elegant piece I call The Rosalie Crochet Hexagon. It is a little larger in size than some of my other hexagon pieces so this gives it space for a little more detail. I will be working her in some soft neutrals today. But of course these square take on different personalities depending on the colours you use, so go ahead and experiment with your own colour combinations.

If you’re looking to explore more captivating color combinations for your squares, hop on over to my Instagram and Pinterest. I love sharing lots of pics of my colour experiments there!

Too make the Rosalie Crochet Hexagon, I’ll be using a worsted weight yarn, but you can adapt it to other yarn weights as well. Ideally, it works best with either a DK weight or worsted weight yarn. I’ll be using a 5.0 mm hook today, but I recommend using the hook size that suits your yarn and your preference. While yarn labels often suggest a 5 mm hook with worsted weight, I personally prefer to go up half a hook size when creating squares for blankets or garments, as it adds a touch of softness and airy texture. Feel free to experiment and choose the hook size that works best for you.

The Rosalie Crochet Hexagon consists of 11 rounds and as with all my Shapes, you can use as many or as few colours as suits you.

In today’s tutorial, I’ll be using 4: Cream, Brown, White and Golden Beige. I’ll be changing colours with each row.

In addition to yarn and a hook, you’ll also need a pair of scissors and a darning needle for this project.

So, pick your favorite colours, gather your supplies, and let’s begin crafting our Rosalie Crochet Hexagon.
