    This is one of the first blogs where I remember seeing this pattern. https://makeanddocrew.com/free-crochet-hexagon-sweater-pattern-part-1/

    But there are many many variations on it nowadays. Search hexagon cardigan or sweater to find YT videos or images where crafters added their own flair to it. I like the ones that have a column of granny squares running down the center back. You can add cuffs or a waistband to make the fit more snug, or leave it loose like I have. I commonly see buttons added, though I just used a hair barrette I had laying around to keep it closed. I’ve even seen a zipper used that gave it a really nice finished look.

      PS: I used a self striping yarn (I think it was Red Heart Super Saver Stripes) and let the color changes happen however they happened. I like the unplanned-ness of it. But I did run out of my yarn toward the end, so I added some stripes in heathered grey so it would still be big enough to fit me, lol.

        Good to know that you used striping yarn. I use only vegan yarns and it is often hard to find nice striping yarns unfortunately. I wonder how tedious frequent color changes would be with this kind of project…

        PPS: I also made some patch pockets for it, I just haven’t made myself sew them on yet 😅
