The Hawaiian Green Sea Turtle or “Honu” is a symbol of good luck, long life and perhaps even a guardian. The inspiration for these Honu Socks is a brushstroke painting that my artist husband created in 2007. He was thrilled to see his ‘honu’ knitted on a pair of socks! Available in Medium and Large width, this uses 2 fingering weight yarns on 2 circular needles in a charted pattern.

Needles:
Two circular 2.75mm needles or whichever size to achieve gauge. (I used two 16” circulars)

Yarn:
Medium: One 50 gram ball of fingering weight yarn in a Main Color, and one 50 gram ball in Contrast Color.

Large: Two 50 gram balls of MC, one 50 gram ball in CC.

This pattern is suitable for intermediate sock knitters familiar with sock construction and techniques and colorwork/stranded knitting.
