Steps:
Make two hexagons:

Round 2:
- CH 3 (counts as 1st DC), work 1 DC in each DC around. In the corner spaces, work 2 DC, CH 2, 2 DC. Join with SL ST to the 3rd CH.
- Repeat rounds 2 and 3 until your hexagons are the desired size. The tutorial uses 8 rounds for each hexagon.
Fold the hexagons:
- Lay one hexagon flat and fold it in half so that the two widest points meet.
- Fold the hexagon in half again to form an L-shape.
- Repeat with the second hexagon.
Seam the shoulders:
- With the right sides facing out, place the two hexagons together so that the L-shapes overlap.
- Pin the shoulders together.
- Using a tapestry needle and yarn, whip stitch along the shoulders.
Seam the sides:
- Turn the cardigan inside out.
- Pin the sides together, starting from the bottom and working up to the underarms.
- Whip stitch along the sides.
Add edging (optional):
