King Cole Crochet Pattern 6481 features two stylish hexagon‑based cardigans designed for both men and women, worked in the beautifully soft and practical King Cole Merino Blend DK. This superwash wool blend is ideal for everyday wear, offering warmth, comfort and durability while still being gentle on the skin. The clever hexagon construction gives each cardigan a modern, geometric look with a relaxed, easy‑to‑wear fit.

The pattern begins with a classic crocheted hexagon, worked twice to form the two halves of the garment. These are then joined and shaped to create the body and sleeves, making the construction both enjoyable and surprisingly straightforward. The men’s version is finished with ribbed cuffs and edging for a traditional, structured look, while the women’s cardigan features a simple double crochet edging for a softer, more delicate finish. Both styles are flattering, versatile and perfect for layering.

With sizes ranging from Small to 3XL (32–54in / 81–137cm chest), this pattern offers excellent flexibility and makes a thoughtful handmade gift for a wide range of wearers. A 4mm crochet hook is required, and the smooth stitch definition of Merino Blend DK helps the hexagon motif stand out beautifully.

All yarn quantities, measurements and additional materials are listed clearly inside the pattern leaflet. Please refer to the images for the full materials list, and browse related items for suitable yarns and hook options. This is a rewarding project for crocheters who enjoy clever construction and timeless, wearable designs.
