st/sts - stitch/stitches
sl st - slip stitch
ch - chain
dc - double crochet
dc2tog - double crochet 2 sts together (dc decrease)
Technique:
Dc2tog with a skipped ch/st in between - Yarn over, insert hook in the next st and pull up a loop, yarn over and pull through 2 loops of the hook, yarn over, skip next ch/st, insert hook in the next st and pull up a loop, yarn over and pull through 2 loops on the hook, yarn over and pull through all the 3 loops
Instruction:
Row 1: Ch 32, skip 3 ch from hook and work a dc in the 4th ch, dc in next 5 ch, dc2tog with a skipped ch in between, dc in next 5 ch, [dc, ch 1, dc] in the next ch, dc in next 5 ch, dc2tog with a skipped ch in between, dc in next 5 ch, 2 dc in the last ch. Turn.
Row 2: Ch 3, dc in same st, dc in next 5 sts, dc2tog with a skipped st in between, dc in next 5 sts, [dc, ch 1, dc] in the next st, dc in next 5 sts, dc2tog with a skipped st in between, dc in next 5 sts, 2 dc in the last st. Turn.
Repeat row 2 fifteen more times. Total length is about 13 inches. With the right side facing fold about 4 inches of the lower part above and sew both the sides together. After sewing pull the right side out.
Attach the magnetic snap button and sew the pompoms along the edge of the flap.
You can also make it longer, attach strap to the sides and make it a sling bag.
This is the pattern for a hexagon motif which can used to make shawls, bags, table runners or doilies. It's easy and beginner friendly. The motifs are joined on the go. I used category 1 yarn. You can, however, use any yarn and a suitable hook.
Materials:
Fingering weight/ category 1 yarn
3.5 mm crochet hook
yarn needle
