The pattern for both is Thuja by Bobby Ziegler. I love this pattern, it is so fast and more interesting than a standard rib sock. They were both made in Regia 6 ply for speed and durability- past Christmas socks have worn to holes in about 4 wears so a yarn with a 10 year guarantee sounded good to me.
