NOTES
The Cardigan is made up of Full Hexagons, Vertical Half Hexagons, Horizontal Half Hexagons and Quarter Hexagons. There are 2 patterns for the Quarter Hexagons, referred to as Quarter Hexagon 1 and 2, depending on how they are positioned on the garment. You may find it helpful to mark the RS on the Quarter Hexagons to help when making up the Cardigan.
All motifs are made separately and sewn together using the Construction Diagram on page 17.
