Here you can find the crochet pattern for a basic solid hexagon blanket. This is a really easy beginners make, and the perfect way to start crocheting hexagons.
I even have a video to show you how to crochet a hexagon!
This is a perfect on the go project too, as you can take just one ball of yarn with you, and crochet hexagons. It’s a very mindful crochet project, and only uses beginner crochet skills, once you’ve made a few, you’ll be crocheting them on autopilot.

How do you crochet a solid hexagon?
Simple really, a hexagon has 6 sides, so you need groups of 6.
But I found this needed a further explanation, so I wrote a whole post on it, with a video!

What stitches do I need to know to crochet this blanket?
This a a perfect beginners project as it uses only a few stitches and techniques.
- How to make a magic ring
- How to make a US Double Crochet
- How to chain
- How to fasten off, and weave in ends (after sewing together)
If you are a complete beginner – I have a great tutorial with a very slow video on how to make a granny square which is a good place to start.

How many hexagons do you need for a crochet blanket?
That will depend on how big you want your blanket to be, what yarn and what hook size you use.
The finished hexagon crochet blanket measures 142 cm x 152 cm or 56 inches x 60 inches.
This is made with a DK weight yarn, and a 4mm hook.
To get to this size, I crocheted 150 hexagons.

Yarn for a Crochet Hexagon Blanket
Yarn choice was key for this design. It’s not often I’m very specific on what yarn to use, but in this case it was all about the colours!
I chose Stylecraft Belissima and Stylecraft Bambino. They are both 100% premium acrylic.
The only difference is that Bambino is the range of colours specifically for babies.
This is a wonderful yarn to work with, which has minimal splitting, and is so so soft.
I adore this yarn, and have used to for other projects too.
You’ll need 2 balls of most colours below, with the exception being the border, when only 1 ball is needed.
Stylecraft Belissima (Double knitting 100% premium Acrylic, 268m per 100g ball)
2 balls Bashful Blue 3930 (A)
2 balls Silver lining 3928 (B)
2 balls Mellow Yellow 3925 (C)
1 ball Smoked Pearl 3929 (D)

Making Up
Once all the individual Hexagons have been completed, arrange as per the picture below and join using the same colour yarn as the one of the Hexagons being joined. Work all joins by holding Hexagons with WS together and working sl st in BLO.
Border
Outside of the border is like a chevron pattern; top of stitch =[1 hdc, 1 ch, 1 hdc], where the hexagons joins = miss 2 stitches.
Rnd 1: Join D with a sl st in any st on blanket edge. 2 ch (counts as first hdc here and throughout), hdc around as follows: 1 hdc in each dc, 3 hdc in each 2ch-sp where hexagon faces outwards, 1 hdc in each 2 ch-sp adjacent to where 2 Hexagons are joined, join rnd with sl tp in top of beg 2 ch.
Rnd 2: 2 ch, 1 hdc in each hdc except as follows: [1hdc, 1 ch, 1 hdc] in centre hdc of each 3hdc group, miss 2 sts where Hexagons are joined (these are the 2 sts made into the 2ch-sps). Fasten off.
There you have it, one basic solid hexagon blanket.
