From the Knit Picks Website:

My husband is a hunter, and he’s trying to encourage my budding interest in the sport. He inspired these matching his-and-hers socks.

His are thick and dense, perfect for hunting or hiking. Hers are thinner, but still plenty warm.

The pattern is written for the Magic Loop or Two-circulars techniques, and includes both charts and instructions for the argyle cables.
