If you add 4 of my designs to your cart, the least expensive one will be free ~ happy knitting!

Blossoms and bees share a precious relationship. As flowers offer bees nectar and pollen to feed their colonies, bees help plants reproduce by ferrying pollen from flower to flower.

Bee Loved celebrates this symbiosis with slip-stitch honeycomb cells and tiny dots of pollen (that won’t make you sneeze). This sport or fingering weight scarf is knitted from one pointed end to the other and is a great way to showcase a gorgeous skein of variegated yarn. When not in use, this color can be carried invisibly in the i-cord edges, so there are very few ends to weave in.

When you’re done, you or your ‘honey’ can wrap up and feel the love!

The pattern is fully written with two optional charts.
