Previously on Moogly... I shared the Traditional Hexagon Motif, which is a great jumping off point for lots of great patterns and projects.
But the thing about hexagons is that when you put them together they leave little half-hex sized gaps around the sides. So we cut it in half! The Traditional Half Hexagon Motif is the solution to fill in those spaces and give you a nice straight edge.
Here's how to crochet the Traditional Half Hexagon Motif!

Went to craft store they have nice laminated knit and crochet directions...for right handed I'm trying to find them in left handed. Not gonna watch a video I need hard copy please tell me they exist
Tamara Kelly says
Hi Julie! The written instructions are almost always exactly the same for left and right handed - for this sort of thing, they definitely would be the same. 🙂

Hi Tamara, I've make a load of your great Traditional Hexagon motifs but how do I join them together? Regards Helen
Tamara Kelly says
Hi Helen! That's another place you can add your own personal touch! Joining hexes is the same as joining squares - you can go tight or loose, depending on the look you're going for. Here are some ideas: https://www.mooglyblog.com/join-crochet-squares/

Do you have the instructions for half hexagon with straight sides and one point (opposite of this one)? I need all the hexagons! Lolololol
