Classical music is full of wonderful examples of the theme and variation concept. Here is a basic ribbed sock with instructions for some variations on the theme including using either sport or fingering weight yarn.

The pair of socks in sport weight takes two 2-ounce skeins of painted yarn and in fingering weight takes one 4-ounce skein.

The sock on the left is made in our Kaleidoscope Yarn, color Firecracker (sport weight), while the sock on the right is made in our fingering weight 100% wool, solid color Willow.
