This “pair” of socks is a mismatched pair. I wanted to create something that used the same techniques, but also had an individual flair to each sock. It’s your choice whether you choose to mismatch the pair, or to work two of one or two of both. Cuffs and patterns are aligned, though, so if you start working on “Cuff 1” continue with “Chart 1” for that sock.
