What is a Granny Hexagon?
A granny hexagon is a variation of the traditional granny square but with six sides instead of four. Just like the square version, it’s made using clusters of treble crochet stitches (UK terms) or double crochet stitches (US terms), worked in the round. The result is a beautifully symmetrical shape that’s ideal for joining into larger projects.
