Funky Block Socks is a sock set pattern for both short and mid-calf socks. The happy colors bring the summer vibes along. They will also be nice to knit in darker tones for winter. Or how about a green, red and white combination for Christmas? This pattern gives you tons of options and also it gives you the best of both: mid-calf socks and shorties with anti-slip off.
