Now you can have even more fun with hexagons. Six equilateral triangles are created when a hexagon is divided through the centre from all opposite points. In a similar way, 6 kite shapes are created when a hexagon is divided through the centre from all opposing flat sides. A Crown is the shape the results when 2 kites are joined on one long side. A Crown is ⅓ of a hexagon and can often be used to replace 2 Kites, eliminating extra seams.
