The humble hexagon cardigan has been around for quite a few years - it's a variation of the classic granny square and is a great project for using up yarn. As anyone with an Instagram account has seen, the hexagons are well and truly enjoying a heyday, with a huge range of colours and pattern variations to discover. If you are embarking on your own hexagon cardigan, check out these bright and cheerful creations for inspiration!
