Beekeeper Socks feature an enchanting honeycomb pattern on the foot and leg. The cables create a cozy fabric, which will quickly make these your favorite socks - they’re like a hug for your feet! The deceptively easy and charming cable pattern is appropriate for men or women. The pattern is equally suited for solids, semi-solids, or speckled yarns. So, pick your favorite sock yarn and cast on!
