Sharon Howington's throw with a black join 

The 'Eye' motifs have 24 granny shells each side and they are joined to keep the rounded eye shape, with 9granny shells each end and 6 granny shells as a side. Works really well in keeping the rounded shape.

THE NEW EYE JOIN

If you divide the 24granny shells equally 8, 8 and 8 granny shells you can join in a star shape, because all the sides to join are equal...just use the same join as you go between the granny shells for the ELONGATED HEXAGON.
