Leftover Candy Sock

The Leftover Candy Socks are worked from the top down, beginning with a twisted rib cuff and a smooth stockinette leg. The heel features a twisted rib detail that mirrors the cuff for a cohesive look. The foot is worked in the main color, with the toe finished in a contrast color for a playful pop.
Inspired by Socktober and a lucky yarn find at Knit City Vancouver 2023, these socks are a cozy and fun autumn knit.
