Tag Archives: Honey Bee Mine

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 in 2022/2023 using Hawthorne Fingering. I love this workhorse of a yarn! The Honey Bee Mine pattern rights have returned to me, so I am now able to offer this through Ravelry and Payhip. Use coupon code SWEET for 15% off through June 26, 2025.

The pattern is still available from Knit Picks too, as an individual pattern download, or as part of the Nature Walk Lace Patterns ebook.

Thanks to Sharon Hsu for modeling for me (top picture)!
