Funny Pair Socks is a fingering weight cuff down colorwork sock pattern. It was inspired by childhood movies of uncommon friendships such as Todd & Copper from the Disney movie Fox & the Hound. The using of uncommon color pairings and the switching of MC & CC between socks was all intended to symbolize these uncommon friendships. Pattern uses k1, p1 ribbing, stranded colorwork & a gusset heel technique. This is a quick knit that requires intermediate knitting skills.
