These cute and hen-some socks will be a new favorite in your sock collection. Who doesn’t love chickens? Just as these fluffy hens’ parade around the coop, you won’t be able to stop clucking your feet together with them. This eggscellent pattern is both fun and addicting! Grab your yarn and let’s cast on, and good cluck!

These socks are knit cuff down with all-over colowork. This uses a partridge heel flap and the red and brown striping to be reminiscent of an old barn.
