Iam looking at adding a hexagon or honeycomb type pattern to a part in fusion. looking at pocketing out the hexagons leaving a lighter weight structure with the ribs still in place to offer some stiffness. Is there a quick way to do this that anyone has found? I dont want to have to draw and space all of the hexagons(or other shapes) if there is a simpler way. @Vince.Fab I know you have done something similar in some of your aluminum parts in the past. Thanks!
I find myself using the rectangular pattern feature (in sketch mode) very often. Combining two of these (shifted by half a period) from one single hexagon shape should get you there very quickly
The way fusion generates the model leaves THREE bodies here. If the construction is done using TWO circles in the second sketch, one offset by 6mm in X and 10.392 in y, then one rectangular pattern using both will produce the hex grid in one shot, giving a single body.

Hi Lynn,
Bernat yarn would work great! You can use any yarn on this pattern, the only difference is that the look of the completed pattern may change slightly, depending on the texture and weight of the yarn. Hope this helps!
Thank you for this hexagon pattern! I have a hexagon quilt on my bed that I have adored for years. So this is so special to me. I also popped back and read your previous post. I am humbled and inspired equally. Thank you for the encouragement, so much.
I'm not sure what is ahead of me, nor do I know who I wish to be. I just know that I'm somewhere at the beginning, and have many miles still to go. I do know, however, that when I think back to my childhood home, I shall always think of the rolling thunder in the distance and the way the earth ... Read More about About Brittany Seaborg

This is incredibly gorgeous! But it is my first project of this difficulty. Ive made several snowflakes before, but it is extremely difficult for me to follow written ONLY instructions.
Does anyone have a pattern? Or has anyone made a video how to of this please?
I found your pattern on pinterest, so amazing, so beautiful. I finished the 1e square and a lot will follow, want to make a bedspread with them. I love the way you connected everything together, I love to do that to. Do you have a pattern of that?
I would like to mirror this hexagon pattern made in Kangaroo and create a middle seam that binds it together like in the second picture. The problem with this method that I used before is that I simply drew new hexagons based on the distance between the two parts, which makes the middle part loose the circular shape that the rest of the hexagons have.

Was thinking if there was a better way of mirroring the half-hexagons found in the tangent circles node. But they seem to be hard to mirror while still being connected to one another. Is there a better mirroring solution?
Just wondering one thing, if using the remeshbycolour node it seems to break the seamline making it impossible to join, because its not straight anymore. Just wondering if there is a way to use the colour remesh without breaking the seamline?

Hi guys, I work in film and television. I have been asked to make a snoot for a light. The snoot is a box that fits on a light and focuses the beam. At the end of the snoot will be a honeycomb pattern made up of 1/4" hexagons. I need to make the honeycomb 14.5" by 11.75" and the honeycomb depth will be 1.5" I am having trouble making the honeycomb. Anyone have an idea?
These swirly hexagons are about as vintage as you can get. The magazine that the pattern is from is in black and white, undated (although looks to be about late 1960s/early 1970s) and called The Knitters Basic Book Volume 2, Mon Tricot.
The video tutorial might be a bit hard to follow - there is a lot of double crocheting (single crocheting for US viewers) and counting! I'm never usually the best counting crocheter, stresses me out. These hexis are worth it though, give it a go.
I saw a really beautiful blanket with a combination of colours on Pinterest and I wanted to try something similar. I looked up how to crochet hexagons and got to it but found myself with a problem 2 hexagons in and so decided to start again. This tutorial has enough pictures and clear instructions to guide you through crocheting a hexagon.
For my first version of this granny hexagon cardigan I used a weight 4 yarn, but for THIS version I used a weight 3! And soon I plan on making a real chunky one (so stay tuned for that).
*After you have worked as many rounds as you think you might need, TRY ON your cardigan by folding your hexagon in half and then using stitch markers (or scrap yarn) to connect the top half of your cardigan together so you can put it on.
*example shown in photos below
If the size is a good length for you, then you can go ahead and Fasten off, and then seam the top portion of your cardigan together. I use single crochet to seam, but you can use whatever seaming method you want. You can check out my video on how I seamed it together here on how I did it (use the timestamps on the video will help navigate where in the video you can find this part).
This part of the pattern is completely optional. If your cardigan is a perfect length and width for you overall (like if your covers and fits across you chest and back as you want it to) you can skip this step. BUT for those who have wider chests/busts/OR just went for a super cropped cardi and need it to cover more surface area in the front and back, this is for YOU!
Repeat Rows 1 & 2 until you have as many rows as you want for the width of your cardigan. You can continually try it on after each row to get a feel for how many you want.
I did a total of 3 rows for my cardigan.
This scallop detailing is optional if it is not your vibe. BUT if do you like it, please refer to my tutorial for this pattern, as I feel like I explain it much better there than I can write it here. The timestamps in the video will make it super easy and convenient to find!
One of my favorite things about crochet hexagons and other granny motifs is being able to play with color. You can pick one or two colors or go crazy and mix and match color palettes. This hexagon crochet pattern also makes a great scrapbuster project. You can work them up with the left over yarn bits in your stash.
As mentioned above, depending on your planned joining method, you can work this fourth and final round on all the hexagons and then join. Or you can work this round while joining crochet hexagons using the JAYGO method.
Hi thank you for this pattern. I have crocheted for 50 years but I had a problem with my health last year and was in an induced coma. Thank fully I have recovered but I have physical and memory deficits.
This is the perfect pattern to get me started again as anything to big now Is quite terrifying.
Thank you so much and kind regards
Lorraine
love it! retro-granny goodness with a modern shape; I finally found my bedspread pattern! lol
the easy pattern and your 3-color combos did it for me. colorful enough to not be boring, but you know they will look good together ?
love jaygo, it looks so much nicer without a heavy seam, and less ends to weave!
great stash buster too
