Honey Bee Mine is a cozy three-color bandana cowl that features sweet honey bees flitting among the honeycombs. The cowl looks like a triangular shawl when worn, but it needs no fussing or pinning to remain stylishly in place.
Honey Bee Mine is worked in the round from the bottom up, so the bees are flying upwards. Multiple yarnovers over several rounds are dropped and scooped up to form the wings of the honey bees, and double yarnovers create bold eyelets for the honeycomb. The pattern uses 3 colors of fingering weight yarn. The edging can be knit in either Brioche Rib or 1×1 Ribbing. (I’m always sneaking in brioche!)
I designed this for Knit Picks using Hawthorne Fingering. I love this workhorse of a yarn! The rights to this pattern have now returned to me, so Honey Bee Mine is now available via Ravelry and Payhip. The pattern is still available from Knit Picks, too, as an individual pattern download, or as part of the Nature Walk Lace Patterns ebook.
