Knitted Hexagons... several requests were made yesterday for the pattern of my lovely Hexies!

I found the pattern I've used online a couple of weeks ago, but for the life of me I can't find it again... there are so many many many patterns for knitting or crocheting hexagons out there though so have a look.

Below is the pattern I used although I have altered it a tad and added a tad.

Since I've written this out and thinking about it I'm sure you could make the Hexagons smaller or larger by altering the basic pattern on just how many stitches you knit between the casting off  of the two stitches... understand?  (Slip 1, K2T, PSSO)
