Basket weave stitch hexagon cardigan - FULL TUTORIAL!

Hello fellow yarn lovers!
I finally made the basket weave hexagon cardigan of my dreams! Now you can too!

I bought my yarn in Istanbul, you can see my vlog and haul here:

If you missed my waffle stitch hexagon cardigan tutorial, or want to follow the ribbing part of that tutorial, you can see it here:
   • Waffle stitch hexagon cardigan - full tuto...  

This is an intermediate pattern and you should be familliar with the following stitches (US Terms) to follow along: chain, double crochet, front post double crochet, back post double crochet, single crochet and slip stitch. Knowledge of how to sew is useful too.

There are two ways to make this cardigan:
1 - You can lengthen the 2 hexagon panels down to your desired length, then join them up and continue with adding ribbing etc...
2 - You can join the two hexagons together before increasing the length of the garment - this is what I did. Then you would add ribbing etc...

This video will show you how I make my hexagons, how I extend them to fit me, how I attach everything together and how I make the cuffs and ribbing. I also show you how I steam my creations.

I used Nako Luks minnos in colour 11157 with a 5mm crochet hook for everything except the ribbing - which I used a 3mm for. I used just under 8 balls of this yarn, which is roughly 2700 metres - approx 2950 yards.
