“Some smart socks with diamonds up the sides.”

The giant has some new socks in the story. How many diamonds does each sock have? The diamond pattern is a repeating pattern. If the sock was longer and had more diamonds what would be next in the repeating pattern? Design your own socks for the giant with a repeating pattern on them. You can use diamonds or any of our other 2D shapes.
