The Beekeeper's Daughter

The Beekeeper’s Daughter is a light, soft jumper that makes a perfect layering garment for transitional weather. Worked in the round from the bottom up, the sleeves are worked separately (also in the round) and then joined at the yoke. The pattern calls for fine mohair yarn, of which 2 strands are held together throughout. This helps to create gentle colour changes across the jumper as it is worked. Use as many or as few colours as you like to create a jumper that is perfect for the person who will wear it.

I-cord edging on the cuffs, hem, and collar creates a neat, fuss-free finish.

Techniques used: knitting in the round working with 2 strands of yarn held together simple increases and decreases applied i-cord and i-cord cast on
