Hexagons Galore

 Well, not as many as in the original pattern. When I used needles that gave the correct gauge of the pattern, the fabric felt a bit stiff. So I decided to use bigger needles and make fewer hexagons. The original cowl is very long - 162 cm, which seems like overkill to me. I'm making my cowl a lot shorter. So, where Mercedes Tarasovich-Clark's cowl has 140 hexagons, mine will have 54. I've done 28 so far, so am just over half way.
