Take (a photocopy of) the pattern and draw pencil lines right across it, like pie segments, so that you have six equal sections. You work one COMPLETE section before turning your pillow.
With honeycomb the chances are that the lines will actually go along "gap" rows of the honeycomb. All that means is that the pinholes of the corner gap rows can be thought of either as the end of one section, OR, the beginning of the next. The exact middle of the mat will not be a pinhole.
Does that make sense? Brenda

Hi out there in Lacingland,
I am trying to make this cicular mat in Bucks Point that has honey ground completely in the center. It is six sided as mats go that I have seen. There are what looks to be 5 circles on the outside edge in each repeat of the mat. I have looked and read the books I have in my collection. Not too much for Bucks Point besides patterns with not much explaination on how to do them or should I say the quirks of doing them. But I am lost. I know the books say to turn my pillow 60 degrees when finished with one repeat. I am getting lost in the honeycomb ground...and I can not visualize my footside as I am going around. I have yet to get to the second repeat for I can't seem to get beyond the first repeat. This is a motif that I am trying to make for a mini workshop that I am taking. I am here without a teacher close by....and am depending on my books I have and the lace list I hope to help me. After I get this cicular motif done I will try and do more of them right from a book with
step by
steps instructions
