Apiculture Hat
One hat isn’t enough bees, if you purchase the Apiculture Hat pattern you also get my Apiculture Pillow pattern for FREE! The discount is automagical, just add both patterns to your cart. **
Did you know that “Apiculture” is a fancy science word for Beekeeping? Honey bees are amazing creatures. They give us honey, wax, and bees pollinate about 75% of our fruits, nuts and vegetables! Make a hat that is both cute and honors these awesome little insects in some fun stranded colorwork. The crown of this hat incorporates the colorwork so the honeycomb morphs into a flower towards the top of the head, it’s the circle of life. I am a beekeeper myself, we have two hives in our backyard.
