Hi everyone! I would like to share with you my first crochet hexagon top. I couldn’t find any top to match my shorts and I decided to crochet it myself. I love how girly and playful they look together. Also, it is an excellent way to utilize leftover yarn. Do you still have leftover yarn in your stash? Which colors would you use for this top?

HEXAGON MOTIF PATTERN:
Round 1 (yellow): make a magic ring, ch-3, 2 dc in the ring, ch-1, * 3 dc into the ring, ch-1 **, repeat from * to ** 4 times, join with sl st to top of ch-3
Round 2 (light pink): change the color of the yarn, connect the yarn to any ch-1 space, ch-4, dc in same space, dc in next 3 dc, * V-st in next ch-1 space, dc in next 3 dc **, repeat from * to ** 4 times, join with sl st to top of ch-3
Round 3 (turquoise): change the color of the yarn, connect the yarn to any ch-1 space, ch-4, dc in same space, ch-1, (skip next dc, dc in next dc, ch-1) rep once, * V-st in next ch-1 space, ch-1, (skip next dc, dc in next dc, ch-1) rep once **, repeat from * to ** 4 times, join with sl st to top of ch-3
Round 4 (light pink): change the color of the yarn, connect the yarn to the 1st dc of any V-st, ch-4, V-st in next ch-1 space, ch-1, fpdc in the 2nd dc of the V-st, ch-1, (fpdc in next dc, ch-1) rep twice, * V-st in next ch-1 space, ch-1, (fpdc in next dc, ch-1) rep three times **, repeat from * to ** 3 times, V-st in next ch-1 space, ch-1, (fpdc in next dc, ch-1) rep twice, join with sl st to top of ch-3
Round 5 (pink): change the color of the yarn, connect the yarn to the 1st st of the previous round, ch-4, fpdc in next dc, ch-1, V-st in next ch-1 space, ch-1, fpdc in next dc, ch-1, * (fpdc in next fpdc, ch-1) rep 3 times, fpdc in next dc, ch-1, V-st in next ch-1 space, ch-1, fpdc in next dc, ch-1 **, repeat from * to ** 4 times, (fpdc in next fpdc, ch-1) rep 2 times, join with sl st to top of ch-3
Round 6 (light pink): change the color of the yarn, connect the yarn to the 1st st of the previous round, ch-4, fpdc in next fpdc, ch-1, fpdc in next dc, ch-3, fpdc in next dc, ch-1, * (fpdc in next fpdc, ch-1) rep 5 times, fpdc in next dc, ch-3, fpdc in next dc, ch-1 ** repeat from * to ** 4 times,

NOTE: you will need just one full hexagon, after that you should join hexagons while you are crocheting the last round
The second color scheme (upper hexagons):
Round 1: yellow,
Round 2: light pink,
Round 3: pink,
Round 4: light pink,
Round 5: turquoise,
Round 6: light pink
JOINING
I will show you how to connect the last hexagon. Join all hexagons in the same way.
Rep Round 6 to the 2nd ch-3 space, ch-1, skip the top ch-3 space of the finished hexagon, sc in next ch-3 space (clockwise), ch-1, fpdc in next dc of the unfinished hexagon, (sc in next ch-1 space of the finished hexagon, fpdc in next fpdc of the unfinished hexagon) rep 5 times,
sc in next ch-1 space of the finished hexagon, fpdc in next dc of the unfinished hexagon, ch-1, sc in next ch-3 space of the finished hexagon, ch-1, fpdc in next dc of the unfinished hexagon,
repeat the 6th round of the main pattern to the 5th ch-3 space
ch-1, turn your work, skip the bottom ch-3 space of the 2nd finished hexagon, sc in next ch-3 space, ch-1, fpdc in next dc of the unfinished hexagon, (sc in next ch-1 space of the 2nd finished hexagon, fpdc in next fpdc of the unfinished hexagon) rep 5 times,
sc in next ch-1 space of the 2nd finished hexagon, fpdc in next dc of the unfinished hexagon, ch-1, sc in next ch-3 space of the 2nd finished hexagon, ch-1, fpdc in next dc of the unfinished hexagon,
finish the round
The upper hexagons join in the same way. But the bottom of the upper hexagon connect to the space between 2 lower hexagons as you can see in the video below.
