If you look from above you see stripes, viewed from an angle a bee appears. This is a fun, colourful project to brighten up your home. I have made a dishcloth. You could equally use the square to form part of a blanket project. Why not make bees in different colours and sew the squares together?

The pattern has been tech edited by sproutnknits and test edited by Terry Moncion, Esme Duran and my dedicated group of test knitters. I am most grateful.
