Honey Bee Mine is a cozy three-color bandana cowl that features sweet honeybees flitting among the honeycombs. The cowl looks like a triangular shawl when worn, but it needs no fussing or pinning to remain stylishly in place.

Honey Bee Mine is worked in the round from the bottom up, so the bees are flying upwards. Multiple yarn overs over several rounds are dropped and scooped up to form the wings of the honeybees, and double yarn overs create bold eyelets for the honeycomb. The edging can be knit in either Brioche Rib or 1x1 Ribbing.
