“Exactly, Watson. Here is the fruit of my leisured ease, the magnum opus of my latter years.” He picked up the volume from the table and read out the whole title, “‘Practical Handbook of Bee Culture, with some Observations upon the Segregation of the Queen.’ Alone I did it. Behold the fruit of pensive nights and laborious days, when I watched the little working gangs as once I watched the criminal world of London.” - His Last Bow

Inspired by Sherlock Holmes, this cowl features bees in a field of honeycomb. This pattern includes two versions, one knitted flat, and one knitted in the round. Each version is in its own PDF, and you will receive both with the purchase of this pattern. The flat version can either be worked with a provisional cast on and grafted, or with buttonholes and buttons.

Yarn Requirements:
Flat Version: about 220 yards fingering weight.
Circular Version: about 200 yards worsted weight, or 220 yards fingering weight.
