Julie Bee features a three-
dimensional honeycomb pattern using
cables and slipped stitches. The pattern
was inspired by my fascination with
honeybees and named for my friend and
beekeeping mentor Julie.

This pattern has directions in both written
and chart format. It uses a modified twin
stitch for the M1 increases and 1 x 1
cables that can be done with or without
the use of a cable needle.

There is a video link to help with the increase method used. Other M1 increases can also be substituted.
