Pattern Overview:

• The pattern is for a large Sunburst Half Hexagon, starting with a half Sunburst pattern and then transformed into a half hexagon. The tutorial includes a joint-as-you-go method for those who wish to join their hexagons this way. But it also explains slip stitching them together as an alternative.

Starting the Half Sunburst:

• Start with a slip knot on your hook.
• Chain 4 (ch 4) and join with a slip stitch (sl st) into the fourth chain from the hook to form a ring.
• Chain 3 (counts as the first double crochet [dc]), then work 9 dc into the center of the ring for a total of 10 stitches (sts).

Creating the Half Circle:

• After completing 10 sts, fasten off and leave about a 4-inch tail. Weave in the tail through the back loops of your starting sts to secure it.

Transforming Into a Hexagon:

• For the joining round, attach yarn at the right side of the work into the top of the chain 3.
• Create puff stitches around, amounting to a total of 8 puff stitches for the curve of the half-circle.
• Work a dc on the very last stitch to create a straight edge.

• Fasten off your work.

Building the Hexagon Edges:

• For the next round, start in the right side of your work, chaining 3 and performing a series of double crochet clusters around the half circle. Spaced with chain 2s between them.
• Repeat this step, increasing the size of your clusters by adding more dc stitches in each, to continue building the hexagon shape.
• In corners, work 4 dc, ch 1, 4 dc to create the hexagonal corners, and continue with 3 dc clusters along the sides.

Finalizing the Half Hexagon:

• Continue expanding the hexagon by repeating the pattern of clusters and corner creations until reaching the desired size of the half hexagon.
• Finish off with a series of dc clusters around the edge of your hexagon, chaining appropriately to maintain the hexagonal shape.
• Fasten off and weave in all the ends.

Joining (Optional):
