Bees are exceptionally clever creatures. Honeybees use their beeswax to create strong and highly efficient honeycomb structures, which they use for accommodation, food storage, and a place to raise their larvae. My Beeswax Set celebrates the beauty of this structure.
The set includes patterns for three matching accessories, also available separately as the Beeswax Hat, Beeswax Cowl, and Beeswax Mitts.Their honeycomb texture is made up of simple mini-cables which are easy to knit without a cable needle.
