Knit Hexagon Wrap – Hexed Flower

This knit hexagon wrap starts in the center with a flower and then grows into a hexagon. Two sides on one half and two sides on the other then expand outwards to lengthen the wrap. This is an intermediate pattern because of the central flower. Once the center is complete, the knitting becomes quite easy!

The yarn for this design was provided by Darn Good Yarn. All opinions are my own.

knit front knit back (kfbf): knit front, back, front all in the same st.

knit 4 together (k4tog): work same as a k2tog, but with 4 sts.

slip 4 knit (s4k): slip 4 sts knit wise, knit those 4 sts together (worked same as a ssk, but with 4 sts instead of 2).
