#MochiNekoSocks
Inspired by the magpie, the bandit, the mistress of mayhem herself, none other than, none other quite like:
Mochi, my beloved younger kitty who spends her nights discovering and pulling out my socks and my
yarn before leaving them around the house like a trail of breadcrumbs. She is, technically, a grown lady,
but she has not lost her kitten spirit. I hope to learn a lot from her.

Pattern Notes: Socks are worked cuff down on five double-pointed needles (can also be worked on short circular needles, or longer circular needles using magic loop). The cuff is worked in striped 1x1 rib on smaller needles, and the remainder of the sock is worked on larger needles. Sock features a short-row heel and square toe. Toe is grafted together using Kitchener Stitch. This pattern is designed for the colorwork on each sock to be the inverse of the other, but the colorwork can easily be worked the same for both socks if desire.
