Thanks for the link Mary - I wil have another go at fpc soon. Have to master the basic stitch pattern first - I have to admit that I've never even managed a square in this pattern yet but I keep trying. It's made such a lovely warm sweater.

Ah okay. Got it!  Thanks. :D

It's like the chain stitch square pattern: 1 sc, 1 ch, alternating, just that it has 6 sides instead of 4.

Ahhh I thought you did, you sneaky wascal.  What stitch pattern if I may be so bold to ask as it looks very windproof and warm.  Is it single crochet?

Jeanne, I used a different stitch pattern to make the hexagons, to make it warmer. In theory, you can use any hexagon pattern you want.

The Creative Jewish Mom has a page showing the hexagon sweater done in one color in chunky, here, with several creative suggestions for yarn use; http://www.creativejewishmom.com/2011/01/a-simple-sweet-crocheted-b...

I have to admit the link-ed sweater photo looks nothing like yours.  Explain?

Beautiful! I've forgotten how to do Front Post again but seeing this I am motivated to re-learn.
