Hexagon crochet cardigan for Gorjuss dolls

I did NOT design this pattern. It is merely my adaptation of Horizon cardigan by Hobbii to fit Santoro London Gorjuss dolls, with photo tutorial. 



I used Stylecraft Batik DK and a 3mm hook 

Abbreviations, UK 🇬🇧 terms
Ch - chain
tr - treble crochet (dc in US)
cl - 3 treble crochet worked in the stitch/space indicated
MR - magic ring
FO - fasten off

Body of the cardigan:
Note: turn after completing each round. 

Make 2 Hexagons

Start with a magic ring, or ch 4 and slst to the first ch to make a circle. 

Round 1: ch 3, 2 tr back into the circle (counts as the first cl), ch 2, *cl, ch 2* into the circle 5 times, slst to top of ch 3, turn, slst into ch 2 sp, pull the tail end tight to close the hole {6 cl’s, 6 ch 2 corners}



Round 2: ch 3, 2 tr back into the corner sp (counts as the first cl), *cl, ch 2, cl* into the next 5 sps which creates the corners, cl into the final sp, ch 2, slst to top of ch 3, turn, slst into ch 2 space {12 cl’s, ch 2 in each corner}



Round 3: ch 3, 2 tr back into the corner sp (counts as the first cl), cl in-between the cls from the previous round, *cl, ch 2, cl into the corner sp, cl in-between the cls from the previous round* repeat until the last corner, cl into the final corner sp, ch 2, slst to top of ch 3, turn, slst into ch 2 sp, {18 cl’s, ch 2 in each corner}




Now we’re going to work only along 3 sides, turning at the end of each row. 

Row 1: ch 3, 2 tr back into the corner sp, cl in-between the cls from the previous round until you reach the corner, *cl, ch 2, cl into the corner sp, cl in-between the cls from the previous round* repeat twice, cl into the final corner sp, turn. 




Row 2: ch 3, cl in-between the cls from the previous round until you reach the corner, *cl, ch 2, cl into the corner sp, cl in-between the cls from the previous round* repeat twice, tr into the ch 3, turn. 




FO your first hexagon after completing these two rows, do not FO your second one. 
Fold them and place them next to each other. 



Seaming the back
Picking up from where you left on the ‘first side’, you will be working from 1 to 2, then to 3 to 4. 

ch 3, 2 tr into the next sp, cl in-between the cls from the previous round until you reach the corner, cl into the corner,



Now working on the ‘second side’
Make a cluster into the corner sp 3 of the second side. And Slst into the first cl sp of the first side. 




*Cl into the next cl sp on the second side, slst into the next cl sp on the first side* repeat between ** until the last sp on the second side, cl into that sp, slst into the ch 3 of first side.  Fasten off. 



Let’s seam the sleeves. 
Attach yarn in the top left corner of the front opening with the right side of the cardigan facing, ch 3, 2 tr back into the same sp, cl in each space across until the corner sp, cl in the corner,





Now working on the back side…
Make a cluster into the corner sp on the back side, slst into the first cl sp of the front side, *cl into the next cl sp on the back side, slst into the next cl sp on the front side* repeat between ** until you slst into the ch 3 of the front side,




cl into the central back join,
cl into each sp along the back until the corner, cl into the corner,




Now working on the front side…
Make a cluster into the corner sp of the front side, slst into the first cl sp of the back side, *cl into the next cl space on the front side, slst into the next cl sp on the back side* repeat between ** until you place your last slst into the space before the central back cl. Fasten off.





After completing these steps, the cardi will look like this




Adding the edge:
With the right side facing and the cardigan upside down, attach yarn in the corner of the left opening




Round 1: Bottom edge – slst into the first sp, ch 3, 2 tr into the sp below,  cl into each sp across, including cl into central back seam, until the last sp, cl into the last sp, ch 2. 



Working up the first side – cl back into the same sp (this creates a corner), cl into each sp along the edge until you reach the central back cl,



Back side – cl into the sp to the right of the central back cl, cl in the sp to the left of the central back cl,

Working down the second side – cl into each sp along the edge, ch 2, slst to the beginning ch 3. Do not turn!


Round 2: Working right side facing

Ch 3, 2 tr in to the sp directly below, sk the first st (this may be hidden), work 1 tr into each st along the bottom edge until the corner, work (cl, ch 2, cl) into the corner sp, sk the first st (this may be hidden) work 1 tr into each st around until the final corner, cl into the corner sp, ch 2, slst to the beginning ch 3, fasten off.
