Honeycomb Socks

Are you dreaming of becoming a beekeeper while contributing to the essential ecosystem that bees support? Bees play a critical role in pollination, which is vital for food production and biodiversity. To celebrate these incredible insects, I designed the Honeycomb Socks, adorned with a beautiful honeycomb pattern and a vibrant pop of yellow, naturally dyed with turmeric! These socks are not just a cozy accessory; they represent the joy and harmony that bees bring to our world. I hope they bring you as much happiness as they have brought me in the creation process.

CONSTRUCTION: The Honeycomb Socks are expertly knit toe-up, utilizing the Turkish Cast On technique. They feature a comfortable Fleegle Heel for fit and an optional Surprisingly Stretchy Bind Off, making them a perfect gift or treat for yourself!

FINISHED MEASUREMENTS: Available in sizes with a circumference of 6 (7, 8, 9) inches. For the best fit, it is recommended to use 0.5-1” of negative ease in circumference, ensuring your socks stay snug and secure.

MATERIALS: You’ll need just 1 skein of Honeybee fingering weight yarn by Cable Me Cozy, or any preferred fingering weight yarn of your choice. A 100g/400 yard skein is ideal and provides ample yarn for crafting these delightful socks.

GAUGE: Achieve a gauge of 32 stitches and 40 rows per 4" of stockinette in the round. Be sure to adjust your needle size as necessary to obtain the correct gauge, ensuring your socks achieve the perfect fit and comfort.
