The Honeycomber

The Honeycomber knitting pattern may appear challenging at first glance, but it’s surprisingly simple! With the clever use of slipped stitches, you can create stunning designs without the complexity of Fair Isle techniques. As long as you know how to knit in the round and execute basic decreases, you're all set to embark on this beautiful project.

This versatile pattern includes detailed instructions for two different yarn weights. The gauge for the fingering version is 30 stitches and 39 rounds in the Honeycomb stitch. For your reference, the gauge provided above corresponds to the sport-weight version of this delightful pattern.

For the sport-weight version, we recommend using Madelinetosh Pashmina, as demonstrated in the vibrant orange and grey sample. This option requires larger needles and utilizes approximately three-quarters of each skein, making it suitable for average adult sizes.

If you prefer a lighter touch, the fingering version showcased uses Wollmeise yarn in an eye-catching blue and green combination on smaller needles. This youth-sized pattern only requires less than half of each color skein, ensuring you have enough for a charming project without excess yarn.

Whether you're a beginner or a seasoned knitter, the Honeycomber pattern is perfect for expanding your skills while creating a beautiful, textured piece. Explore the world of slipped stitches and enjoy the satisfaction of crafting your very own Honeycomber project today!
