The Honeybee Cap and Beret are abuzz with a swarm of delightful little slip-stitch bees. Ascending from a mock honeycomb border atop a twisted rib brim, the bees take flight into a tight spiral at the crown of each hat. This pattern includes instructions for BOTH hats.

The pattern has been professionally tech edited and test knit to reduce the potential for error.

CONSTRUCTION

The Honeybee Cap and Beret are knit in the round.

REQUIRED SKILLS

  • Knit and purl stitches
  • Increase and decrease stitches - KFB, k2tog
  • Twisted stitches - K1-tbl
  • Cable stitch - 1/1RC
  • Slipped stitches

INSTRUCTIONS

The pattern is fully charted, but also includes complete written directions so the ability to read a chart is not necessary to work this pattern.

YARN NOTES

A worsted weight yarn with good stitch definition and little to no halo is recommended. Slight tonals will work, but highly variegated yarn will distract from the slipped stitch pattern.

ADDITIONAL NOTIONS

You will also need:
Tapestry/blunt yarn needle
Stitch markers (2)
