Beekeeper Beanie - Hanging Rock Roost - PRINTED PATTERN

Beekeeper Beanie is an extension of The Apiarist shawl, so the story is the same. A chilly winter night, great friends, big squishy snuggly shawl, admired by my friend who keeps bees. A special birthday called for a special gift, so The Apiarist was born, and from there, Beekeeper was hot on its heels.

Beekeeper is worked from the bottom up, beginning with a simple two by two rib and working towards the top with a rich texture, reminiscent of tiny bees making their way to their lovely honeycomb in their hive. These are all the same stitches used in The Apiarist Shawl, including the seven-stitch panel of double moss stitch.
