From Pattern Description:
These delightful socks combine traditional tweedy elegance with a lively twist. It might seem a bit eccentric to knit ecah toe individually, but just think of these socks as gloves for your feet. They’ll certainly keep you warm! These socks are knitted in the round using light-weight (DK) tweed yarn. We’ve gone for simple stripes, but you could vary the pattern by knitting each toe in a separate colour.

Additional yarn notes:
This pattern uses three colors
1 x 1 3/4oz (50g) ball of light-weight (DK) acrylic, cotton and wool mix tweed yarn in brown
1 x 1 3/4oz (50g) ball of light-weight (DK) acrylic, cotton and wool mix tweed yarn in cream
1 x 1 3/4oz (50g) ball of light-weight (DK) acrylic, cotton and wool mix tweed yarn in blue
You could use more or less to vary the stripes and toes
