Scheepjes Cotton 8 (100% Cotton) and Scheepjes Sunkissed (100% Cotton) both with a 3 mm hook.

Hexagons made with Scheepjes Cotton 8 and Sunkissed are around 20 cm in diameter.Hexagons made with Scheepjes Secret Garden are around 27 cm in diameter.
ABBREVIATIONS, US CROCHET TERMS
ch – chain
sk – skip
** – repeat instructions between stars the amount of times specified

Dc in each st until next ch-2 sp, 2 dc in ch-2 sp, dc i next 6 st’s, 2 dc in 3:rd ch of the beginning ch-3 from previous round (image).
Edge:
We are going to add an edge of sc’s on the long side of the half hexagon. This will make an eventual border around the half hexagon look better.
Ch 2 (image 1), make 44 sc’s evenly spread out along the long side (image 1), ch 2, sl st in the top st of beginning ch-3 of round 11 (image 3).
Fasten off and weave in ends and your half hexagon is finished! 🙂
