Honeysweet Socks are perfect chunky cabled socks to wear during cold season.
Design features honeycomb cables all the way from the ribbed cuff to the toe. The main pattern is bordered with thin cables on the sides. These socks are great to wear indoors for cuddling or for sleeping. Also, they can be perfectly paired with your favorite boots for long outdoor walks.
They are worked pretty fast using dk weight yarn and large needles. It’s a perfect small project for gift knitting during the holiday season.

Socks are worked cuff down seamlessly in the round with heel flap and gusset shaping (Dutch heel).
Heel is reinforced by slipped stitches.
You can easily adjust socks for larger size or for thinner yarn just adding more purl stitches around honeycomb cables.
Pattern includes both chart and written instruction.
