A pair of bed, yachting, reading or whatever socks. Avoid second sock syndrome with these same/not same colour work socks, knit with two contrasting hanks,in a nod to a nautical buoy design.

As for gauge and needles. I knit these on a 3.5 mm needle however it is important to gauge. Depending how you carry two colours will alter what needle size you will need.
