Pattern Notes
The three flower hexagons are worked almost exactly the same.
Hexagons 1-3 are the same except for round 7 on each one.
Hexagon #3 has different color placements yet same construction.
Hexagon #4 & #5 are the only ones worked in one color.
Hexagon #5 will NOT be worked in the round.
Working sl sts into sl sts – Rounds 5-7 on the flowered hexagons have you working a sl st into a sl st. I find it easier to do a fpslst - front post slip stitch. It is worked just like a front post stitch but a sl st around a slip stitch.
On Hexagon #5 – the half hexagon – you will count the ch before you turn as a st for the NEXT row. So ch4 will count as a tr, ch3 count as a dc, and ch2 count as a hdc.
