Honey Bee
Casual yet stylish, this cozy winter pullover is a must-have for your knitwear collection. Crafted in a chunky yarn, it works up quickly, making it perfect for both seasoned knitters and beginners looking to tackle a fun project. The contrasting accent color injects a playful touch and loads of charm into this design, ensuring you’ll turn heads wherever you go.
This delightful knit is constructed from the bottom up, starting with mock rib borders that are cast on separately for the front and back before being seamlessly joined together. After that, the body is worked in the round as one piece, extending up to the armholes, where you'll then split the work to create the front and back sections separately. This method not only provides a smooth finish but also allows for easy customization of fit.
The sleeves are intelligently designed to be worked in the round from the bottom up, contributing to a sleek silhouette. After completing the body, the shoulders are seamed for added structure, and the sleeves are sewn onto the body for a professional finish. To complete the look, the neck edge is expertly picked up and worked at the end, ensuring a polished appearance that’s comfortable to wear.
