Zigg Zagg Socks

The Zigg Zagg socks are a highly customizable pair of socks. Newer knitters for example might not feel up to a full colorwork sock just yet so can opt to do only one repeat of the colorwork on the leg. Whilst another knitter might opt for a colorwork sock with only the textured chart appearing once on each sock. Or go for a pair of fraternal socks! The pattern is written to get a pair of socks to match the sample in the picture, but everywhere where a specific chart is mentioned you can replace it with the chart of your choice. Do be aware that if you choose to customize your socks that your yardage requirements will vary! These socks are knit from the top down.
