Over the past few years, I have had a love affair with honeycomb stitch patterns. Creating different honeycomb structures in my knitting is a delight for my hands and eyes, especially in beautiful honey-colored yarn! When Taproot told me the theme of the Issue this hat was originally published in was FEAST, I knew I had to make the honeycomb hat of my dreams!
