The Leftover Candy Socks
The Leftover Candy Socks are worked from the top down. The socks begin with a twisted rib cuff, followed by a smooth stockinette leg. The heel features a twisted rib detail that mirrors the cuff, creating a cohesive and balanced design. The foot is then worked in the main color, and the toe is finished in a contrast color for a playful touch. 
 
Inspired by Socktober and a lucky yarn find at Knit City Vancouver 2023, The Leftover Candy Socks are the perfect cozy accessory for autumn.
