This pattern has full instructions, but allows you to to make a Hexi cardigan or sweater with any yarn on any flat bed machine. The main instructions are for 4 ply, Double Knit and Aran weight yarns, but if you want to use a yarn that doesn't fit these gauges, then I show you how to work out the instructions for your size and yarn.

The garments can be made in any size - if you used the whole needlebed, it would fit a giant.

The basic garment, although looking complicated, is simple enough for a relative beginner to make. The skills needed are picking up from waste yarn or a garment edge, and being competent with the use of shaping by Holding Position/Short Rowing.

The garment can be made in one colour, but by using the construction of the garment, you can produce a very striking striped effect, using as many colours as you like. Or you could have a more subtle effect by using different textures of yarn in the same or toning colour.

You can also use Fairisle patterning with a suitable design.

The garment is made in 2 sections, each consisting of 6 triangles and joined at the centre back.

Ammendments can be made to garment length, sleeve length, and sleeve shape

The cardigan can have a V or round neck, and the round neck can be converted to a sweater by joining at the front.

The basic pattern uses a 'Double Worm' edging for those with no ribber. If you do have a ribber, you have the option to add ribbed welts, cuffs and bands.

There are so many variational possibilities that you will be able to make a totally unique garment. 

It's also a great way to use up leftover balls in your stash
