Honeybee Cardigan

I know lots of you have been waiting for this one…and here it is!

Honeybee cardigan

Andrea in Honeybee!

Jesh in Honeybee!

Honeybee is a light, lacy cardigan in an interesting and fun stitch pattern. Knit seamlessly from the bottom up, Honeybee integrates set-in sleeves without the need for seaming! Two length options (or anywhere in between) and three quarter length sleeves let you customize your sweater to work with your weather! A perfect autumn layering piece that lets those fun tees and tanks shine through.

Shown cropped on Laura in Socks that Rock Mediumweight in Rose Quartz (pink) in size 34.5.

    Hi, I really need your help. I am having problem deciding which of your patterns to buy. I searched Ravelry – cause I really want to use some of my stash: got a lot of Zara, BMF Heavyweight to use. I am debating between Monday Morning or the Honeybee.. then I’ll finally be able to pass my order. I wonder if the Heavyweight will be too big for Honeybee and not enough for Monday.. Or if Zara can do Honeybee ??? Your reco would be gladly appreciated. (Went through two hours of searching on Ravelry and can’t decide)… Thanks
