Go Tell the Bees

Discover the enchanting world of knitting with our "Go Tell the Bees" shawl pattern, inspired by the ancient Celtic custom that emphasizes the importance of communication with bees. Did you know that bees may stop producing or even leave if their keepers undergo changes without informing them? This thoughtful tradition inspired the beautiful design of this crescent shawl, which celebrates the upcoming release of the much-anticipated book in the Outlander series.

This delightful crescent shawl begins with a practical cable cast-on at its lower edge, ensuring a secure and sturdy foundation while preventing the hassle of running out of yarn tail with a lengthy 350+ stitch long tail cast-on. Featuring a lovely honeybee stitch motif, the design is beautifully complemented by a honeycomb-inspired lace edging, making it perfect for any knitting enthusiast looking to elevate their skills. The crescent shape is achieved through simple short rows, allowing for easy construction without the complication of wrapping at the turns, making it beginner-friendly!
