Hi everyone! Today’s pattern is inspired by one of the most iconic Star Wars ships of all time (excepting the Millennium Falcon, of course) : a TIE Fighter! This pattern took a bit of experimenting to make because crochet hexagons can sometimes be a bit tricky, but don’t worry; this pattern is simple, easy to follow, and requires very little sewing.
