A hive of workers, each with a task--collecting honey, raising the young, building the home--all serving and protecting the queen. She reigns over her domain, a collection of cells forming the honeycomb, home to tens of thousands. A whole little world to be celebrated.

I loved creating the beautiful honeycomb stitches for Queen Bee Tee so much I couldn’t let it go after just one pattern. It’s a simple and rhythmic lace that’s so easy to fall in love with.

With a 24” or 48” circumference, you can wear it as a cowl or as an infinity scarf. And the pattern contains two customizable heights so it can be perfect for you! The simple stitching of this pattern make it a great canvas for yarn play--try speckles, tonals, or my favorite royal blue.
