Childeric's bees
This exquisite knitting pattern is inspired by the captivating golden bees discovered in the tomb of Childeric, the king of the Franks (approximately 457-481 AD). To enhance the design's charm, I've incorporated delicate flowers at the top of each bee, creating a visually stunning effect that truly stands out.
The pattern features a long, curving scarf or shawl, skillfully crafted from wedge-shaped repeats. You have the flexibility to adjust the length of your finished piece simply by changing the number of repeats included. For reference, the sample scarf showcases 14 repeats, but opting for 11 repeats will yield a beautifully-sized scarf, perfect for elegantly draping around your neck.
This design is accessible to knitters of all skill levels, as the instructions are provided in both written and charted formats. Whether you’re a beginner looking to challenge yourself or an experienced knitter seeking a lovely project, this pattern caters to everyone. The inspiring combination of golden bees and vibrant flowers will make this scarf a delightful addition to your wardrobe or an unforgettable gift for someone special.
