Hi, Hon! People from Baltimore are familiar with this greeting and the beehive-hairdo’d ladies who wield it. With this cheery pink cowl, I used big welted sections to echo the original kind of beehive, with a little easy lace thrown in for interest. The cowl gradually increases in circumference as you go, meaning it cascades gorgeously into a fashion layer with no styling effort.
The Hon Cowl is the featured Maryland Showcase pattern for The Knitting Boutique for February 2018.
Skills:
- I-cord cast-on and bind-off
- knitting in the round
- simple lace with increases and decreases
- Welted sections are written with a “no purl” option for those who prefer!
