Well, I’m not releasing a new podcast—though I’m prepping Jane Eyre RIGHT NOW—so instead I’m releassing a new pattern!
My husband recently sent me links to the three videos I’ve loaded below. He said “for the boys” in his email but, seriously, how could I not attack these? I did a quick “knitted flexagon” web search and found that no one had yet made a pattern for this (though you can find oh-so-cool pillows and kaleidocycles video and pattern) so I made my own!
October 21st is the birthday of the instigator behind the craze (Martin Gardner) so knit up a passel (while listening to Flatland) and spread the word of his genius (and the genius of a number of other quite-bright kids).
These can be knit with any yarn, at any gauge, with any needles (that fit your yarn). As long as you have a neutral and three other colors, you’re golden. Photo-instructions for sewing and folding and provided.

I bought through Ravelry… how do I get the pattern?
There’s been some weirdness with purchasing via Ravelry without a Rav ID–They’re looking into it on their end. Until that’s fixed, if you don’t have a RavID, email me (heather AT craftlit DOT com) and we’ll figure something out. So odd! SO SORRY!
When I saw your pattern pop up on Ravelry, I suddenly knew that it was somehow inevitable that someone would create a pattern for a knitted hexaflexagon. (I saw Vi’s videos last week, too.) And I was in no way surprised that that person turned out to be you.
It’s fantastic, and I am quite sure that I’ll have one of these on my needles before I even realize it.
And now she’s even gotten the HexaMEXagon! For a girl from Tucson, this is the pinnacle. (Though she could find much better tortillas in South Tucson!)
Thank you, Todd, for the link!
