Spotlight Stitch: Knit Honeycomb
Thanks for the love @Yarnspirations! This project turned out to be a #WIP that I haven’t yet finished so I decided to turn this into a #SpotlightStitch in the meantime! This is a 16 row repeat where you switch between working stitches in front and back of a cable needle. It takes a bit of getting used to if you haven’t worked with a #cableneedle before but it works up quickly once you get the hand of it, promise. Check it out below!
Pattern Notes:
This pattern is worked up in multiples of 4 stitches with a minimum of 8 if you are testing a swatch). I recommend adding a boarder around the bottom and sides to prevent curling. See picture below.
Materials:
- Bernat Wavelength in Amber
- Size 6.5mm knitting needles
- Cable needle
