The Honeycomb shawl is a large asymmetrical shawl in mosaic colourwork designed by Catherine of Small Bird Workshop exclusively for Beehive Wool Shop. The shawl uses a combination of Brook Farm Fingering and Dunlin, a yarn that is also exclusive to the Beehive. Both are a light fingering weight, 2ply, British wool yarn (420 m/100 grams) which is wonderful for texture stitches and mosaic alike!
The Honeycomb shawl features three different stitch patterns: Andalusian stitch (a variation on a broken rib), a simple slip stitch “dot” section, and mosaic sections that link the colours together. The design includes an i-cord selvedge edge, although it’s easy to substitute a garter selvedge instead, and the different sections can be substituted or switched according to the knitter’s whim.
Kit includes:Honeycomb Shawl pattern (printed & PDF), and 3 skeins of fingering weight yarn: a combination of Small Bird Workshop Dunlin and Gathering Yarns Brook Farm Fingering.
