The Curio Socks by Andrea Mowry is a versatile and delightful go-to sock pattern, perfect for showcasing colour-changing yarns, small skeins, or even leftovers from previous projects. These socks are knitted starting at the toe and feature an afterthought heel, making them as fun to create as they are to wear.
