Crocheting this cardigan feels like a small, sweet indulgence – light, colorful, and truly addictive. “Muffin Hexi” is a modern crochet design made from two hexagons that come together to form a comfortable and eye-catching garment with minimal seaming.

It’s perfect for beginners with basic skills, as well as more experienced makers looking for a quick and satisfying project. With the beautiful color transitions of Stenli Muffin, you’ll create a unique look without the need for complex yarn changes – just keep crocheting and enjoy the process.

Notes

Beginning ch 2 doesn’t count as a stitch.
You’ll be making two hexagons that, when folded together at the arms, should form the letter L.
The hexagons are worked in the round without turning.
At the end of each round of the hexagons you should replace the last “ch 4” with “ch 2 and dc on top of the first dc/bobble st”.
Ch 2 and dc on top of the first dc/bobble st counts as a ch-4-sp.
Dc4tog doesn’t count as a stitch.

Assembly

With the wrong side of the hexagon facing up, fold it in an L-shape and sew or sl st two sides together (this way you’ll be forming the shoulder seam). Cut yarn off and weave in the ends.

Repeat the same steps for the other hexagon. Join both hexagons together (with the wrong side of the hexagons facing up), forming the back seam.

Cut yarn off and weave in the ends.

Edging

With the right side of the cardigan facing up, attach yarn to the bottom right corner, ch 2, 2 dc in same sp, [2 dc in each ch-2-sp, 5 dc in each ch-5-sp, 3 dc in each ch-3-sp, 7 dc in each ch-7-sp] alongside the bottom edge of the cardigan, (2 dc, ch 2, 2 sc) in corner ch-4-sp, [2 sc in each ch-2-sp, 5 sc in each ch-5-sp, 3 sc in each ch-3-sp, 7 sc in each ch-7-sp] alongside both front edges of the cardigan. Place 2 sc, ch 2 in same ch-4-sp where you placed the first 2 dc in this round, sl st into first dc, cut yarn off and weave in the ends.

Cuffs

Attach yarn to any ch-7-sp on the sleeve, place 4 dc per ch-7-sp, 2 dc per ch-3-sp and per ch-5-sp, 1 dc per ch-2-sp and per corner (at the shoulder seam). (36 dc in total)

R1: ch 2, *sk 1, fpdc around next st, bpdc around next st*, repeat till the end of the round, sl st into first st.

R2–R5: ch 2, *fpdc, bpdc*, repeat till the end of the round, sl st into first st.

Cut yarn off and weave in the ends.
