[Nfb-krafters-korner] hexagonal granny square

[Theresa Taylor]

I typically make one large hex so then I do not have to sew them together. When you begin by putting the 4 corners into the initial loop or should I say the typical round 1….you just add two more corners.
It comes out really cool. I have sewn some together and then used a border to help make it look more symmetrical.
HOpe this helps.
