Bee Kind Sweater Pattern
$10.00
In a world where you can be anything, be kind! The Bee Kind Sweater is a drop shoulder design, worked from the bottom up entirely in a bee stitch pattern using a mix of yarns. The combination of different weights of yarn creates a more open stitch, perfect for warmer weather. This is a simple sweater construction consisting of working both flat and in the round, seaming at the shoulders and picking up for sleeves. This sweater is a great piece for beginner and intermediate knitters and a wonderful way to learn some new techniques.

Where anything feels possible
Meet the Spinners
Over the course of the last 13 years, we've created our own little cottage industry within the Indian economy where 16 Indian women create our yarns! There’s just so much that goes into each and every skein and none of it would be possible without this team, right here, making it all happen. One of my favorite things about being there is that anything feels possible. Read more on the blog: India Team + Trip Recap.
