Ella Hexagon Cardigan
"The Ella hexagon cardigan is a beginner-friendly crochet pattern constructed with just two hexagons and using simple extensions to achieve the desired width and length for your size. Crocheted using the granny stitch with a solid neutral for the main yarn and variegated for an accent to give a punch of colour, my cardigan gives the illusion of a larger granny square within each hexagon. The optional granny square pockets tie in seamlessly with the overall short-sleeve design for a cohesive look. This project is an excellent way to use up your scrap yarn stash. Turn your leftover bits into a beautiful, lightweight summer garment.
