Depending on what increase pattern you choose, it resembles two
granny squares where the center of each square is under your arm
pit.<br>

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>
