It technically isn't a pattern per se. The written patterns are for
crochet and I am knitting.<br>
<br>
For the hexagon panel, cast on how you like, 6 stitches. I prefer
the figure 8 cast-on so that it is seemless. Then, you will follow a
repeat of row 1: knit, row 2: increase. In your first row, place a
marker after each stitch (you can use double pointed, two circs, or
magic loop-I use magic loop). The first two increases you will want
to do kfb in every stitch. On the third increase you will knit the
stitch on each side of the marker and then increase the next stitch.
You may use any pattern you want and any increase you like (such as
continueing with kfb, yo, m1r and m1l-I am doing just the yo for
this first try). So, on the increase round, you are increasing two
stitches between each marker. This will give you six equal sides and
thus a hexagon.<br>
<br>
Increase until you have your sleeve length, or where you want it to
stop (I plan on working ribbing in the wrong down to my hands). Then
make a second hexagon.<br>
<br>
Now, you lay it out like it will make a square and bring the two
extra sides together. It will form an upside down capital print L
(think of a t-shirt laid flat, then fold it in half down the middle
so that the arms are laying on top of each other). Now, you sew the
top of the sleeve closed on each panel. At this point, you can
either sew the two backs together or start knitting between the two
to join them (hexagon 1, new knitting, hexagon 2). Many people will
add a different color for a color block look. Some people will also
add more knitting along the bottom to add length. Then, you will go
up the front sides individually because you do not want them joined
and you can choose to leave open or add button holes on one side.
This is carried up the front, over the arm, around the neck, and
down the other side.<br>
<br>
I hope that helps. If you crochet, you might want to do a search for
free crochet hexagon cardigan pattern and read several of those.<br>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:12.0pt">Well, guess
what . . . yes, I frogged again!<br>
<br>
Okay, so I actually finished the one panel based on the
pattern and discovered it is a terrible pattern. So, I went
digging for another version of the knitted hexagon cardigan
and this pattern is much better. I have restarted that panel
and am making progress.<br>
<br>
It has been a brainy week. I worked on learning two software
programs, did the intial setup of a new computer, did the
above knitting trials, and tried sous vide for the first time
with my second instant pot which was my first time learning
how to use that one because it is a little different from my
other one.<br>
<br>
Man, that was exhausting just listing it all.<br>
