A TOUCH OF HONEY Clog Socks
|
The honeycomb stitch is a classic aran pattern. It is easy to work in a single
color, and only slightly more difficult to work in 2 colors. Using 2 colors really
shows off the recesses of the honeycomb, so I had to knit the 2 versions, as
shown to the left! This pattern will suit the unsure, as well as the adventurous,
aran
knitter.
The heel flap patterning continues through the heel turning, for cushioned comfort, as well as design balance.
Both samples are knit in Halcyon Botanica, an all wool, worsted spun, worsted wt. yarn. This yarn has a lovely sheen, is VERY strong, and makes great cables!

The single color style requires 2 hanks in the color of your choice. (I used color #18, a royal purple.)
The 2-color style requires 2 hanks MC and 1 hank CC.
(I used #49, an oatmeal, as the MC, and #18, the purple, as the CC. I used just 2 yds of the 2nd hank of #49, which translates into just 2 rnds per sock. If you need shorter socks than the given dimensions, you may only need 1 hank #49.)
You can knit 1 pair of each style with 2 hanks MC and 2 hanks CC.
