I was watching Stranger Things with my husband and felt inspired to knit some 80's style socks! Tube socks were the first thing that came to mind. When I showed them to my parents (who were teens in the 80's) they immediately recognized them as tube socks. Mission accomplished! Then because I was watching the oh so popular (and freaky) show I of course then needed to give them a Stranger Things name and Hawkins fit perfectly!

NOTE! This is a DIGITAL PATTERN NOT A FINISHED PRODUCT! You will NOT receive socks in the mail. I do not refund digital purchases.
