The Calypso Socks feature an elegant honeycomb textured pattern created using slipped stitches. This beautiful, raised texture catches the light and adds a modern twist to a classic sock design. It looks clever and intricate, but the technique is actually simple and easy to learn.

Worked from the top down with a comfortable short-row heel (German short rows / Boomerang heel), this pattern uses only basic techniques. This design is built as a step-by-step recipe-style constructor, making it an enjoyable, relaxing, and highly rewarding project for knitters of all skill levels.
