Floating hexagon patternEntry/Object ID
2020.1.197Description
From the book: "This pattern shows a honeycomb formation embossed in very high relief upon a garter-stitch background. Its charm lies in the fact that the hexagons really do appear to 'float' on the background, with no obvious attachment to it. This is an excellent pattern for sweaters and hats. If used for dresses it should be worked in fine yarn."Collection

Jeanette is a British knitwear designer who lives on the south coast of England. She was taught to knit where she was seven by her mother, who was a fantastic knitter who came to England from Barbados. Jeanette's knitting has been with her throughout major life events - including brain surgery. Knitting is more than a simple past time or job for her. It helps her center and quiet herself, allowing her mind to rest. She usually knits while listening to music.Lexicon
