how do we get the pattern for this? When I click on the link it asks me to enter another user name and password but looks like a different site?

I'd never seen one before but these flexagons are normally made out of paper. This young man (who's page I'm linking) made one out of fabric.

Here are pictures of mine, rotating through the colors I used.

His instructions were a little confusing for me but I was able to figure it out from his pictures (I'm a visual learner). I took pictures of my process and can upload them if anyone is interested in making one. I had so much fun making this (it's a pretty quick project) and fun to play with so I'll definitely be making more!

Would this be good for an Alzheimer''s patient or someone who has had a stroke. I would love more help.
