This lovely woolly wonder is knit from Lamb's Pride worsted in a honeycomb pattern from one of my current favorite stitch dictionaries. (Oh, I know! You guys don't like these books due to lack of charts. I however, love them!)
The stitch pattern required every other stitch to go on a cable needle. At first this fact was a bit maddening, but soon I was motoring along as a rhythm began to develop. I think the entire scarf took me a few weeks to complete.
I finished the muffler off with a crocheted picot edge...
And six little needle felted bees...
The bees took me longer to make than the actual scarf! Although, I think they were definitely worth the effort!
