A deceptively easy knitting pattern for the beginning knitter
or a quick knit for the experienced.
Bee Brave is a sport or worsted weight shawl
knit in the round in a mosaic slip stitch pattern with built in fringe.
It‘s an easy way to learn to steek, and a fantastic use for that gradient or stash buster.

On choosing colors:
The MC should contrast or compliment the CC.
The CC can be one color or as many as you like.
Each cell row is a color and the number of cell rows can easily be adjusted to accommodate gradients.
