Instructions to make a crochet hexagon

First, make a magic ring. 

Round 1: Then make 3 chains (1dc) and make 1 dc into the magic ring. Then make 2 chains and make 2 dc into the ring. Then *2ch, 2dc* repeat until you have 6 sets of 2dcs. Then make a slip st. in the 3rd chain of the 3ch at the beginning.

Round 1

 2nd round: Join another colour yarn to any space of 2 chains. Then make 3 chains and 2 incomplete double crochets, followed by 3 chains and 3 incomplete double crochets in the same space. *3ch, 3 incomplete. dcs, 3ch incomplete dc* until you have  6 pairs of 3 incomplete dcs. At the end join the 3rd chain of the beginning 3 ch

Round 2

                                                          

3rd round: Join a new colour yarn to the middle of any ch 3 space between 3 incomplete dc pairs and make 3 chains and 2, three incomplete dcs to the space. 

Then make 3ch and make a set of 3 incomplete dc into the next space. Then make 3 chain and make another set of 3 incomplete double crochets into the same place.

Repeat 1 set of 3 incomplete double crochets and 2 sets of 3 incomplete double crochets alternately until the end of the round. At the end, join  to the 3rd chain of the 3 chains at the beginning.

Round 3

                                                     

                                                   

Round 4: Join another colour and make 3 ch and 2 dcs to the chain 3 space. Again 3dcs to the next space. Then we have to make the corner. To make it, make 3dcs and make 2 ch and again make 3 dcs .*3dc, 3dc, then at the corner (3dc, 2ch, 3dc)* Repeat to the end.

Round 4 and 5

                                                                 

Round 4: Make 3ch and 1dc into each dc below. At each corner, make 3dc, ch2, 3 dc to the chain 2 space in the corner. 

At the end, join with a slip stitch to the 1st ch of the ch3 made at the beginning of the row.

Final row. Make 1 ch and add a single crochet round.
