Somebody else named them that . . I didn’t! The pattern is called Geek Sock and it is so fun to knit when using self striping yarn.
It’s pretty mindless but there an afterthought heel, which I’ve never done so we’ll see what I think once I get the heel done. It can’t be too hard . . lots of folks have done it and continue to do it.
In my yarn, the change from medium gray to light gray is so subtle that I kinda loose the design there, but the red really pops in those grays. I’m loving this pattern.
If you’re a sock knitter with lots of self striping yarn, check out the free pattern!

Lovely socks! Makes me think of the old joke – what is black and white and red all over!

I’m so glad you found and shared that pattern I have a ball of evenly spaced three color yarn that I was not wanting to knit because it was going to get boring with just 3 colors and equal amounts of color but that pattern is going to make it fun. Might start this weekend when the guys are off hunting.
thanks
