Aren’t these the sweetest socks? Inspired by Winnie the Pooh’s iconic honey pot, the Honey Pot socks use a variety of techniques in an all-over colorwork design. Duplicate stitching is used to add the striking image of a honey pot and stranded colorwork visualizes a collection of bees and drips of honey. Designed as part of Dyeing Wishes Yarn Co.’s Winter Solstice 2024 Sock Set Boxes, this pattern is perfect to use with a traditional sock set, as long as there is great contrast between the main skein and the mini skein. This pattern is for the fingering weight version of the Honey Pot Socks.

This pattern has both written instructions and charts for the colorwork.
