Joining

Join 9 hexagons together in a straight line using an invisible seaming method in your pattern order of preference. Join the first hexagon to the last to make a loop.

Arrange the remaining hexagons in the coordinating order. I prefer to join these in a row as per the previous step then join the two rows together, though you can add each hexagon as you go if you prefer. Use the same method to join.

Working in the top row of hexagons, choose the right colour yarn to maintain the colour pattern and join to the tr at the top of one of your hexagons. Over the following stitches,

work 1 sl st , htr, tr, tr, dtr, dtr, dtr, tr, tr, htr, sl st, sl st, sl st.

This should have levelled out the space between your two hexagons. Continue with your colour scheme across every gap around, working

*3 sl st, htr, 2tr, 3dtr, 2tr, htr, 3 sl st*.

After completing that row, change to a colour of your choice. ch3, work 1tr in every stitch around. You may wish to crochet over your ends from the previous row at this stage.

Repeat this step with a second colour.

Carry out the same steps on the bottom half of the cowl, and weave in ends to finish!
