Granny Flexi Hexi Longline Cardi – A Fresh Take on the Classic Hexi!

Struggling to find the perfect fit for a hexagon cardigan? Traditional designs can be tricky—widening the sleeves can throw off the proportions, while narrowing them often requires extra length, disrupting the color flow. The Granny Flexi Hexi Longline Cardi solves this with an innovative elongated hexagon design, allowing you to crochet both halves seamlessly without the need for extra rows.

This no-sew pattern is designed for crocheters who love a smooth, uninterrupted construction process. With four length options and five sizes, you can customize your cardigan to suit your style, whether you prefer a trendy cropped look or a dramatic longline silhouette.

The pattern is intermediate-friendly but has been carefully written to be easy to follow, complete with a detailed chart, step-by-step photo tutorial, and plenty of images to guide you through every stage.

If you’re looking for a stylish yet straightforward project, this is the perfect cardi to add to your handmade wardrobe.
