Catona 10g Colour Pack version

No photos this week as the hexies are being joined up for the demos! There are so few colors left now that it shouldn’t be tough to pick them out hopefully!

Make 6 hexies total + 2 half hexies:

Note: Use the same 10g ball for the 2 half hexies.

Gauge note: All hexies should be compared back to the Week 1 Plain Hexie A hexagon that you made throughout the CAL to maintain gauge.

Colour Crafter stash version

Colors are not given for this version because it is made with stash yarn in any desired palette.

Make 2 full hexies + 2 half hexies:

Gauge note: All hexies should be compared back to the Week 1 Plain Hexie A hexagon that you made throughout the CAL to maintain gauge. Note: Since this version does not use 10g balls, it doesn’t matter as much that your hexagons meet the spec below. As long as they are all the same size as your Plain Hexie A, you will be golden.


Chunky Monkey stash version

Colors are not given for this version because it is made with stash yarn in any desired palette.

Make 2 full hexies + 2 half hexies:

Gauge note: All hexies should be compared back to the Week 1 Plain Hexie A hexagon that you made throughout the CAL to maintain gauge.
