How do hexagon granny squares differ from regular granny squares?
Hexagon granny squares have 6 sides instead of 4, use 2-dc clusters instead of 3-dc clusters, and create beautiful tessellation patterns when joined together. They're perfect for geometric designs.
What projects work best with hexagon granny squares?
Hexagons are perfect for blankets, cardigans, bags, pillow covers, and decorative wall hangings. Their tessellating property creates stunning geometric patterns when joined.
