- Brynwood Hexagon motif (partial). Found in Robyn Chachula’s book ‘Crochet Stitches Visual Encyclopedia’:
Rnd 1 (right side): Make an adjustable ring. Ch2, 2 dc-cl in ring, [ch4, 3 dc-cl] into ring 3 times, ch1, dc in top of 2 dc-cl, pull ring closed, do not turn.
Rnd 2: Ch1, 4 sc around post of dc, 6sc in each ch4 SPACE around, 2sc in 1st ch SPACE, sl st to first sc, do not turn (24scs)
Rnd 3: Ch3 (counts as dc), dc in next 2 sc, [ch5, skip 1 sc, dc in next 3 sc] 5 times, ch2, dc in top of turning ch (counts as ch space), do not turn (18dcs)
Rnd 4: Ch1, 5sc around post of dc, skip turning ch, *sc in next dc, 9scs in next ch5 SPACE (arch made), skip 1 dc*, repeat from * – * around, sc in next dc, 4scs in 1st ch SPACE, sl st to 1st sc, do not turn (6 arches)
Rnd 5: Ch6 (counts as dc, ch3 space), dc in 1st st, *ch4, dtr2tog over previous sc and middle sc of next arch, ch4, [dc, ch3, dc] in same sc*, repeat from * – * around, ch4, dtr2tog over previous sc and middle sc of next arch, ch4, sl st to 3rd ch of turning ch, do not turn (18 ch SPACES)
Rnd 6: Ch1, *5scs in next ch SPACE, 4 scs in next ch4 SPACE, sc around dtr2tog, 4 scs in next ch4 SPACE*, repeat from * – * around, sl st to top of turning chain (84scs)
NOTES
- All “sc2tog” sts are worked INSIDE curves of wings (note: you can move the sts around on the wire frame after fastening off so that the decreases sit inside the curves)
- Wing template pages are included in the pattern, it is IMPERATIVE that you print them off WITHOUT resizing. There is a box on each template page that should measure 1”x1” square, if it doesn’t, your template will not print out the right size.
WINGS FRAME
Step 1: Print out template pages, cut out pieces, match up pieces for “top wings” and tape together. Match up pieces for “bottom wings” and tape together. Use these templates to bend your 14 gauge (thicker diameter) wire around to achieve the correct shape (for both the top wings and bottom wings). (make note where the template says to start and end your wire so that the two ends overlap each other for frame strength) You now have two pieces of completed frame, one for the top wings and one for the bottom wings.
Step 2: Twist ends around each other (don’t worry if you distort the rest of the frame some, you can put the frame back on the template and reshape later). Using the 20 gauge wire (thinner diameter), nip off a piece approximately 8” long and wrap it around the overlapped/twisted ends of the thicker wire, being careful to cover all rough ends/edges <see pic A>. When the ends of the thicker wire are adequately covered, tuck end of thinner wire in so that it doesn’t poke out anywhere.

Using tapestry needle and a length of yarn whip stitch motifs together as marked in tutorial pics. Fasten off and weave in all ends. <see pic D>
FINISHING
Attaching motifs to wing frames: Using tapestry needle and length of yarn whip stitch assembled motif pieces to the wire frames as marked in tutorial pics. <see pic E>
Connecting top and bottom wings: Place bottom wings frame right side down then place top wings frame right side down on top of them. <see pic F> Using tapestry needle and length of yarn whip stitch around upper wire frame edges of BOTH the top AND bottom wing frames, then turn and whip stitch through ‘stitches’ edge of BOTH the top AND bottom wing frames, fasten off and weave in ends (shown with blue arrows in pic F). Repeat for lower edges of frames.
