********************************

This is a written pattern and comes with photographs, graphs and two short videos for that show the new joining technique.

The hexagon shapes in this design use mostly simple stitches, with cables in each corner that are slightly more advanced.  The hexagon shapes work up quickly.

Triangle shapes make up the half hexagons.  These are made from small centre flowers with a border around them, then joined to make the half hexagons. These are of an intermediate level.

Joining and the border are of a high end intermediate level, with the joining using a new technique.  This has been described by myself as a jacobs ladder joining stitch.  I have done a short video of this stitch but videos are not general to my patterns and so it is a basic video showing only this joining.

The final border is worked in sections, with flowers and half flowers in the valley points of the hex shapes. This section is of a high intermediate level.
