I live in a log cabin in the woods and deal with every kind of insect imaginable - so I designed this knitted decoy wasp nest to help deter wasps from building on our decks and rafters. It works, and it's a fun knit!

The realistic texture is achieved by picking up purl bumps from a previous round, creating a textured, layered surface that closely mimics a real wasp nest. A link to a private video demonstration is included with your pattern purchase.
