My girls and I spend many hours in the garden, planting flowers to entice bees to visit. They are a big inspiration to me, as is my Mum - affectionately know as “Bee”!

Pollinator has negative ease built into the pattern. It is designed to ensure a snug fit while being worn.

This is a slouch beanie, knit in the round.

It is written for 4ply, 8ply and 10ply yarns with sizes.

Gauge is as follows:
4 ply 28sts/10cm on 3.25mm needles
8 ply 22sts/10cm on 4.0mm needles
10 ply 20sts/10cm on 5.0mm needles
(in stocking stitch in the round)

The pattern starts at the brim and works up to the crown with a delicate Bee inspired lace feature panel.

You will need to know how to work small circumferences in the round and intermediate lace work.

Every size can easily be knit out of any Meraki Yarns using just under 100gms which makes this a wonderful knit for those special skeins in your stash.
