ABOUT THE PATTERN
The Slow Like Honey wrap is a big, rectangular DK weight wrap, worked seamlessly from one end to the other, in a combination of honeycomb cable and 4 x 4 rib patterns. The honeycomb cable gradually disappears, becoming the rib, and then appears one by one, creating a very balanced and symmetrical look.
Inspired by the song of the same name by Fiona Apple, this wrap is an engaging and fun knit that will keep you interested with the playful nature of the design. Cables are only worked on the right-side rows.
