Focus on dodging and only hit when she's near you. Learn the attacks before attempting to attack yourself. You can downward slash on her needle when she throws it at you to pogo off of it. If possible, don't run at her until you are comfortable with her moveset. Good luck!

Hornet is an instructor. Fighting her sort of opens up the entire game. So learn from her. You need to figure out how to read her actions, and dodge her damage.

Yes, she's hard to beat. But what she teaches you about the game is needed. She's far from the hardest you'll face.

Only thing that you can't dodge is her knife. You can jump, but then you'll be hit when knife will be going back. The best advice I can give you - try to keep distance. Then its much easier to dodge her skill. And be patient - don't try to force her. As I remember there is enough time to heal even between her attacks.
I used charm that gives you more soul per hit.

And the guy above is right, she looks scary when you see her for first time, but after finishing game she'll make you laugh.

This is untrue. You can dodge both the going out and coming back of the needle. As I mentioned earlier, it's possible to pogo on the needle to help avoid damage if you're in a bad spot. But if you're about halfway between her and the wall, you can easily jump twice and dodge both times. If you're too far but not far enough, the needle will reach you and immediately boomerang back. For these cases, just pogo (down slash) on the nail and you'll be fine.

If player could pogo Hornet's knife (or needle) then he wouldn't ask for help, because it means he has enough skill to beat not just Hornet, but most bosses. I gave easiest solution that doesn't require much skill.

However I won't recommend to try jump twice, because it risky, it so much easier just to stay far away and don't care about needle at all.
