A couple of months ago, Steve made a ‘thing’ which he called a Flexi-cube. This is the next generation.

We sometimes call it an Octocube. We made up all these names. I don’t know whether the thing has a proper name though everyone has seen one, probably as a child’s toy or with photos of a holiday destination.

It has eight cubes and twelve different colours.

It is one of those things that you just can’t put down once you pick it up.

The pattern, which includes a knitted version, is now available.
