Hexaposi is a bag that was created by experimenting with hexagons and three-dimensional geometry. Playing around with different configurations, I ended up with a shape that can be used as a bag (as presented here) or if stuffed, as a toy, pillow, whatever you can think of!

Instructions include two different methods of joining the hexagons together. One method is seamless, the other with seams.

Kangaroo Rayon provides a lovely sheen and drape to the finished object. With other types of yarn, such as cotton and wool, the bag will hold it’s shape better.

Instructions are given in written abbreviated form and US terms.
