“The Beekeeper’s Collection”, comprising of two blanket patterns and a cushion pattern, were inspired by World Bee Day on 20 May 2021. The patterns are available to buy individually or as a bundle.

The two blankets and cushion are hexagonal to represent the honeycomb and are worked in the round. Filet crochet.

“The Beekeeper’s Hive blanket” is the larger blanket. It requires 12 x 100g Scheepjes Colour Crafter or an equivalent DK yarn.

The blankets tell the bees’ story in each segment. We start with a solitary bee which then starts off a honeycomb hive. From here the bees fly off to the flowers and then return to the hive. The blanket finishes off with honeycomb filet to represent the production of honey from the comb.

A smaller version “The Beekeeper’s Honeycomb”, was designed for Scheepjes Whirl and Whirlette. but would work in whichever weight yarn you prefer.

If you would like to try out a sample of the pattern, it is available as “The Beekeeper’s Cushion” - see separate listing. The three patterns can also be purchased as a discounted bundle - The Beekeeper’s Collection.
