So many patterns, so little sucess

Ravelry has let me down. All I wanted was a hexagon granny square (or whatever they are actually called) - a hexagon version of my previous granny squares, for which I used this pattern. I saw hotpads and full fledged blankets and links to Lion Brand that wanted me to register. I don't want to register, I want to crochet.

One pattern turned out like this:

My own version came out in three dimensions:

Another pattern could fit in my hand:

The best pattern so far used UK terminology but doesn't exactly give you a true hexagon:

Maybe blocking would help. 

This project has been using up a lot of extra yarn, so that's a blessing.

I'll keep looking until I find that perfect hexagon pattern.
