Hi guys! Let’s crochet a textured hexagon together. This is a fun way to use up some scrap yarn and learn some new stitches on a smaller scale.
You can use these hexagons to make blankets, pillows, wall hangings, accessories, and more! If you use cotton yarn, you can turn these hexagons into coasters.
Let’s get started!

Yarn:
One of the great things about this crochet textured hexagon is that it’s versatile. This means that you can use any hook size and yarn type/weight, which makes it a great stash buster project.
However, for those wondering what yarn I used, here is my colour choice:
- Yarn: Caron Big Cakes
- Colour: Peach Part-ay
- This is a self-striping yarn that alternates between purple, fuschia, salmon, and light pink.
Abbreviations:
- Ch – chain
- St(s) – stitch(es)
- Sl st – slip stitch
- Dc – double crochet
- Bpdc – back-post double crochet
- PS – puff stitch (see tutorial)
- MR – magic ring
- YO – yarn over
- Rnd – round
Pattern Measurement/Gauge:
Unblocked: Each unblocked textured crochet hexagon measures approximately 5″ long (from one corner to another) x 4.5″ wide.
Blocked: When you block your hexagon, it measures approximately 5.5″ long x 5″ wide.
Special Stitches:
Puff Stitch (PS) – Photo Tutorial:
- Step 1: YO and insert hook into the MR.
- Step 2: YO and draw up a loop – there should be 3 loops on the hook.
- Step 3: Repeat Steps 1 – 2, two more times in the MR – there should be 7 loops on the hook.
- Step 4: YO and pull through ALL 7 loops on the hook.
Back-Post Double Crochet (Bpdc) – Photo Tutorial:
The back post double crochet is worked AROUND the post of a stitch, instead of through the front and back loops of a stitch.
- Step 1: YO. Coming from the back of the indicated st, insert hook around the front of the post of the st.
- Step 2: YO and pull it around the post of the st and out the back – there should be 3 loops on the hook.
- Step 3: [YO and pull through 2 loops] 2 times.

Blocking your Hexagons:
Blocking your work is optional, but it can make a big difference in the overall appearance of your hexagons. Blocking helps the stitches relax and lie flat to create straight, crisp edges.
Here is a picture of unblocked vs. blocked hexagons. What a difference!
To block your hexagon:
- Lay it on a blocking or foam mat.
- Place a pin in all 6 corner ch-1 sps, and into the center of the MR.
- Steam or spray the hexagon with water.
- Gently press the steam/water into the hexagon with your hands.
- Let the hexagon dry completely and unpin it!
Joining Multiple Crochet Hexagons Together:
If you choose to make more than one textured hexagon, then you’ll need to join them together. There are 3 ways to join these crochet textured hexagons:
- Make a bunch of hexagons and sew them together using the whip stitch or mattress stitch.
- Make a bunch of hexagons and join them together using a join-as-you-go method. Here is a great tutorial by Nautikrall Crochet.
- Make 1 hexagon and use a join-as-you-go method to join each additional hexagon as you crochet. Here is a great tutorial by Hooked by Robin.
