Busy Bees and Pin Cushion

You will receive instructions for a tiny 3cm Busy Bee, and a 10cm colourwork honeycomb pattern pin cushion. I have also included a colourwork graph for a busy bee which is 12 stitches wide so can be knitted as a single motif or as a continuous design on a hat or sweater. An ideal gift for a gardener or beekeeper.

The busy bees are very quick and easy to knit using black, yellow and white DK yarn. The honeycomb pattern graph will enable you to knit the pin cushion using cinnamon and cream DK yarn.
