GAUGE
1 Hexagon measures 8 1/2” x 8 1/2” on straight needles
TO SAVE TIME, TAKE TIME TO CHECK GAUGE
NOTE
Optional: If desired, hexagons may be joined as you work. To do this, with RS facing,
25 sts should be picked up along the edge of each adjoining hexagon between
markers. You must then cast on enough sts so that you always start Row 1 of your
hexagon with 152 sts on your needles.
HEXAGON 1
With straight needles, using MC, cast on 152 sts.
Row 1 (WS): Purl.
Row 2: K1, place marker, * work Row 1 of Chart over 25 sts, place marker, rep from
* 5 times more, k1 – 140 sts. Work in pat as established, keeping 1 st at beg and end
in St st and working 6 repeats of Chart between markers. Carry markers up as you
work. You will be decreasing 12 sts each row. When Row 5 has been completed,
change to desired hexagon color shown on diagram and work with this color to end.
When Row 25 has been completed, end on WS – 8 sts. Break off yarn leaving a 12”
long end. Thread end into tapestry needle and draw through all sts on needle. Pull up
tightly and secure. Sew seam, completing hexagon. Continue to make hexagons using
colors shown on diagram.
Note: As each hexagon is finished, mark each corner of cast-on edge with a pin or
short piece of yarn. This makes it easier to assure that all corners line up when
assembling hexagons.
FINISHING
Sew hexagons together following diagram. Leave all corner markers on cast-on edges
of outer hexagons in place.
Edging: With RS facing, using crochet hook, join MC at point shown on diagram 1 st
