Printed knitting pattern: Anthophila by TanisKnits. This top down stranded colorwork pullover is an ode to bees or anthophila. Scientists have continually stated that bees and the pollination they provide are critical to the ecosystem and the agricultural economy. Knit from the top down beginning with a tubular cast on, stranded colorwork bees flutter across the yoke followed by gentle German short row shaping. The bottom edge and cuffs are tipped with colorwork.
