When you've got pie, you don't care whether socks match.
I might wear the sock once or twice after the hole starts, until it's clear the sock is not going to heal itself, then toss it. Socks are too cheap and my time too full for proper darning (unless you count "darn, I got a hole in another sock!" as darning) but I won't toss a sock that's not holey just because it got widowed.
If I were the sort who makes pillows out of washcloths, I'd probably save the sock, like I used to save my pantyhose. Yes, I wore pantyhose (and made throw pillows stuffed with failed ones) in a former life.
