English-only pattern

The Prism Optical Illusion Socks by Skyler Kottke of HoneyLume Co. feature a striking geometric design that creates the illusion of three-dimensional cubes across the fabric. Using just two contrasting colors, the simple repeating motif gives the appearance of depth and movement while remaining enjoyable to knit. Inspired by modern geometric art and optical illusions, these socks are a bold yet timeless addition to any handmade wardrobe.

Perfect for knitters who love clean lines, eye-catching colorwork, and modern designs that look far more complex than they are.
