6 Sided Afghan

[DancingStitches]

I saw an afghan on ebay that I just fell in love with. It has 6 sides - does anyone know what this pattern may be called or where I might find a pattern like it? It is one of those "must have" patterns:blush

[karin4christ]

I know CPC has a pattern for an eight sided one but I can't remember a six sided one. Can you post a link to the listing on ebay? Maybe some members here can give you some advice about how to design your own.

OK - here's the link for the afghan on ebay. Isn't it pretty? I already have colors picked out to make one for my friend:lol

The link doesn't work.

The link is working now. The afghan looks beautiful. This is a link to how to do a six sided granny. I don't know if that would help you. I'm going to try to find the link to the octagon afghan I mentioned in my previous post.

[karin4christ]

I can't find my octagon pattern. I know I didn't throw it away. I'll have to keep looking for it. But I also found this : it is for a six sided flower afghan. I also found this one it is for a five sided granny. Both of these are at Marlo's corner.

Thanks Karin - did you find your pattern? I hate when you know you have a pattern and can't find it. I am looking for my Sew On Fire pattern with all the corrections printed out and do you think I can find it??

Here's the link again for the 6 Sided Afghan on ebay - hope it works. I don't know why I can't get it working.

Is this what you are looking for?

Yes - that was the pattern for the Sew on Fire and the corrections I was looking for:hug I just printed them out again - thank you for saving me the trouble of finding my copy.

 

Now if I can just figure out what the pattern is called for the above mentioned ebay afghan my day will be complete. Did the link work for anyone besides Karin?

 

I guess I need the challenge of finding this pattern.....it takes my mind off of the fact that today is the anniversary date of when a drunk driver severely injured my daughter:(

The link is working fine.

This isn't the same pattern and it's octagon:

I also would take a square, like one from this afghan and just make it bigger. This is a snowflake which is what your eBay one appears to be:

Here's a free granny hexagon afghan. Just do one motif and keep going:

You'll probably find more if you go through CPC both afghans and squares. Remember names don't always tell what they are:

You can use the hexagon granny and make it solid by crocheting in the stitches instead of ch and skip. To make a basic hexagon, you start with a circle with 6 sc in rnd 1, 12 sc in rnd 2, 18 sc in rnd 3, 24 sc in rnd 4. Rnd 5: ch 3 (=1st dc), dc in 3 sc, [ch 2 (corner), dc in 4 sc] all around, ch 1 hdc to ch 3 (= last corner). Each rnd after, you ch 3, dc over hdc (1/2 corner) dc in each dc and [2 dc, ch 2, 2 dc] in corner sp, 2 dc in 1st ch 1, ch 1, hdc to ch 3.

OK - I found this afghan (the same one as ebay) on a knitting forum but can't seem to find this pattern.

 

Thanks Ellie13 and Empress Busy Bee - the links are great and ellie's suggestions are terrific:hook

I found a pattern for this Hexagon Afghan. Two girls from another forum wrote out the pattern and sent it to me. Crocheters are such nice people, aren't they? I can't wait to give it a try.
