you’ve seen all the bee and honey inspired sweaters, hats, cowls, scarves….you name it, there’s been a honeycomb something out in the knitting world.

and now, finally, there’s the “bee”tastic pollinator jockstrap from papabearknits! you knew it was only a matter of time until PB released another design to send the knitting world “a buzz” with excitement.

the pollinator jockstrap is based on the tried and true jock design of the previous patterns: twisted mister, woodsman, business travel, the pride series, repetition, and alignment. the model samples are done in a super soft, squishy 100% superwash merino that not only accentuate the cable stitch, but, allow the wearer to enjoy the comfort too! the color selected is quintessentially un”bee”lievable!

strongly recommend using the lifted increase method as it lends a very professional look to the overall garment. also, the icord edging is perfect manner to slide elastic in which ensures keeping the stinger where you want. this is another ideal project for beginner cable knitters.
