If
you want to crochet more rows just do the same as you've been doing
on Rows 3 and 4. For every row you will have 1 extra chain 1 space
on each side of the hexagon. So just do a Cluster then Chain 3 in each
one.
IF there are ANY questions, please let me know!

Do you by chance have a tutorial on doing a border for the hexagons?
