Honeyvine Collection
The Honeyvine Collection is an exclusive knitting pattern inspired by a wild-growing plant native to Kentucky, my home state. The design of this knit beanie features climbing cables that beautifully mimic the resilient characteristics of the honeyvine. This collection is perfect for those looking to expand their knitting skills while crafting stylish and functional accessories.
Are you new to knitting cables? Don't worry! The simple cable design in this beanie pattern is perfect for beginners eager to try their hand at this technique.
To get started on both the beanie and matching cowl, you'll need a few recommended supplies: • Stitch markers to keep your place while knitting • A cable needle to help with those beautiful twisted stitches
**Beanie Dimensions:** The finished beanie measures 8.25” (21 cm) in length, 6.75” (17 cm) in width, and fits a head circumference of 21-23” (53-58.5 cm). For this project, you will need 135 yards of light chunky yarn, such as Malabrigo Mecha or We Are Knitters The Petite Wool. Get ready with US 7 & 8 (4.5mm and 5.0mm) 16" circular needles, or the size needed to match your gauge. Additionally, don't forget your US 8 (5.0mm) double-pointed needles for any finishing touches!
**Cowl Details:** The Honeyvine Cowl can be made in two styles: a snug fit with a 22” circumference and a height of 9”, or a looser fit with a larger 25” circumference, also standing 9” tall. For this piece, you’ll need about 150-180 yards of light chunky yarn, ensuring it matches the thickness of your beanie yarn, like Malabrigo Mecha or We Are Knitters The Petite Wool. You'll work with US 7 & 8 (4.5mm and 5.0mm) 22" circular needles, or the size necessary to achieve your preferred gauge.
Keep in mind that my knitting tension runs average to slightly looser than average, so gauge is essential for achieving the right fit for your beanie and cowl ensemble. Dive into the world of cable knitting with the Honeyvine Collection, and create warm, stylish accessories that reflect your personal style!
