Geometry is often the inspiration for my crochet designs. In this sweater, it is twofold. First, I found a beautiful four-sided pineapple motif that I expanded into a six-sided design so that it would look like six petals of a flower. Second, I dissected the hexagon motif into two half hexagons to create the right and left fronts of the cardigan, with a full hexagon back. The resulting wraparound cardigan features a lacy six-petal flower motif across the back and a flower petal edging to mimic those of the central motif. The side ties are long enough to wrap around the waist and tie in the back.
