Quadratrix Socks

Product Description

Math and art come together to make a beautiful design in Quadratrix Socks! This design is worked from the toe up. It uses a bit of stranding to bring a pop of color to your wardrobe. This pattern was created to utilize mini skeins and really lets them be the start of the show!
