10 Things I Love About the Beekeepers Quilt

Here's what I am working on today and I am totally in love with this knitting project! The Beekeepers Quilt knitting pattern is a fun project from Tiny Owl Knits. It's made by knitting honeycomb shaped pieces then putting them together. The result is a cozy knitted quilt that is sure to become an heirloom. Here are all the reasons I love this project:


10 Things to Love about the Beekeepers Quilt Pattern

  1. Hexapuffs! The quilt is made up of individual stuffed hexagon shaped pillows..aka hexapuffs
  2. It's a great way to use up stash yarn.
  3. Beginner knitting project but knitters of all skill levels will love it, too. 
  4. No sewing required!
  5. No purling required!
  6. Hexapuffs are knitted in all one piece.
  7. Hexapuffs are easily pieced together to create the quilt of your choosing (again, no sewing required).
  8. It's easy to adjust the size of the quilt as you go, so you can select the finished size.
  9. The pattern includes lots of photos and detailed instructions.
  10. Very portable project, perfect for knitting anywhere!

  1. Great pattern, but I loathe sewing...I would love to make this, but I know in my heart of hearts I would never finish it. Now if there was a way to knit one hex, then pick up and knit the next one right onto the first....I might be able to handle that!

  2. Guess what? This is a NO SEW knitting project! Even to piece it together, no sewing is required. :)

  3. Just started making the hexapuffs. What a great "walking around" project!

  4. I love this, I agree, a great walking around project. More portable than socks. And I have to say, the support staff at Tiny Owl Quilts was awesome. I ordered this at about midnight on a friday night and my Ipad crashed. I sent her an e-mail and within 10 minutes, she had responded. That was the best. So, not only is this a fun project, which I am loving to use up all my scrap sock yarn (I even begged some off my friends) but the author of the pattern is awesome also!
