Solid Flexi Hexi Longline Cardi by Melu Crochet

Finding the perfect hexagon cardigan fit can be tricky, but the Solid Flexi Hexi Longline Cardi makes it effortless with its elongated hexagon design.

I wanted to design a cardi that felt approachable for everyone, whether you’ve made lots of garments or are picking up your hook for your very first one. The elongated hexagon construction keeps things simple while giving you plenty of room to customise, from cropped to floor-length, in your favourite yarns and colours.

This innovative, no-sew pattern allows you to crochet both halves seamlessly, eliminating extra rows and ensuring a smooth, streamlined finish. It also makes it much easier to work with colour-changing yarn, so your colours flow beautifully without horizontal lines along the bottom.

The stitches are wonderfully simple, which makes this a brilliant choice if you’ve never tackled a garment before. Designed for intermediate crocheters, the pattern is easy to follow, with a detailed chart, step-by-step photo tutorial, and plenty of images to guide you. Think of it as a confidence-boosting project that looks impressive when you wear it for a day out or a cosy evening in.

The pattern includes 11 lengths and five sizes, so you can make the perfect fit for yourself. Whether you fancy a cropped cardi, something mid-length, or a dramatic floor-skimming version, there’s an option to suit every height and shape.

The Solid Flexi Hexi Longline Cardi Crochet Pattern is now available as a PDF download in my Etsy shop, Ravelry , LoveCrafts, and Payhip

You can also order a printed paperback copy book from Amazon (UK) version and Amazon (US Version)
