FINISHED MEASUREMENTS: Width = 54” (137cm)
GAUGE: 5 dc = 4”(10cm), 2 rows = 3”(7.5cm); save time and check your gauge
PATTERN NOTES:

• Hexagon is worked the round, but is turned at the end of each round, as if working in rows.
• On the 2nd and 3rd rows of the multi-color sections,  when you reach a color change, drop the color you have been working and pick up the next color, pulling it up to the height of the current row to work the ch stitch. In these sections use a separate ball for each side of the hexagon, you will only be working with one color at a time.
