Hi knitters!

Today we would like to show you ‘the hive knit’.

This super scrubby stitch looks very similar to a honeycomb and incredible after finishing your project! We highly recommend knitting this honeycomb technique on garments with a large space so that you can get more volume and better forms on your project.

The Hive Stitch is an advanced level technique but we will try to explain every stitch step by step. Follow our steps and get the best wool honeycomb ever! Let’s start!

Cast on a number of stitches multiple of 8 + 2 stitches.

Row 1: purl all the stitches.

Row 2: knit all the stitches.

Row 3: purl all the stitches.

Rows 4, 6, 8 and 10: knit the first stitch, (*purl 3 stitches, pass 2 stitches to the right needle, do not knit them and leave the thread over the needle (in front), purl 3 more stitches).

(*Tejemos 3 puntos del revés, pasamos 2 puntos a la aguja derecha, sin tejer y con la hebra por arriba, tejemos 3 puntos del revés).

Repeat this step (*) until the last stitch and knit it.

Rows 5, 7 and 9: knit the first stitch, (*knit 3 stitches, pass 2 stitches to the right needle, do not knit them and leave the thread over the needle, knit 3 more stitches).
