According to the Oxford Dictionary, an oblique angle is defined as any angle that is not a right angle or a multiple of a right angle. When it comes to socks, the term "Oblique sock" has found its way into RedScot’s Dictionary of Made-Up Words (OUP 2018), where it refers to a straightforward pattern that results in socks featuring angles that aren't traditional right angles or their multiples. If that happens, it’s purely by happenstance!
