Granny Stripes Flexi Hexi Longline Cardi by Melu Crochet

Introducing the Granny Stripes Flexi Hexi Longline Cardi, a fresh take on the much-loved hexagon cardigan! This design reimagines the traditional hexi construction by starting with an extended hexagon shape, creating an elongated silhouette that allows each half of the cardigan to be crocheted continuously from start to finish, with no additional lengthening rows required.

Not only does this create a beautifully streamlined look, but it also makes colour changes much simpler to manage. The continuous construction keeps your granny stripe pattern flowing seamlessly from shoulder to hem, creating elegant vertical stripes that draw the eye downward for a flattering, elongating effect. With no horizontal break lines across the lower portion of the cardigan, the finished look is clean, modern, and polished.

Designed with flexibility in mind, the pattern includes 11 length options and five sizes, making it easy to customise your cardigan to suit your style and preferred fit. Whether you love a shorter layering piece or a dramatic longline cardigan, the Granny Stripes Flexi Hexi Longline Cardi gives you the freedom to create a garment that’s uniquely yours.

This no-sew pattern is designed for crocheters who love a smooth, uninterrupted construction process. With four length options and five sizes, you can customise 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.
