The stitch pattern is an extension of the standard slipped stitch heel to cover the entire sock. Perfect to make warm toes.
A fun honeycomb-themed pair of socks. The socks are worked as mirror images, so when you put your feet together you create a honeycomb. Worked from the top down in 4ply / fingering weight yarn.
