Cutie, if you want a hexagon 8 inches across, use a compass. Open it to 4 inches, and draw a circle. Then put the point of the compass on the circle, and make a small mark with the pencil, four inches away, also on the circle. Put the point of the compass where the mark bisects the circle, and make another mark on the circle four inches away. Continue around the circle until you have six marks. Join them up from mark to mark and you have a hexagon with four inch sides. No graph paper needed.


Well done to everyone who also intends to make one, I hope you will all post here when they are done. And thank you to all who thought they actually could make one from what I have said and pictured. The proof of the pudding is in the eating!

Lesley, I have started to make one as a gift and must congratulate you on the very clear and concise directions. It has been really easy so far. I am up to the point of sewing the box lid together, making the pockets, and elasticated pieces and am thoroughly enjoying it.

None at all Elle, well none that you can't cope with, you seem to do your best work when under pressure, if my IRR is anything to go by!
