Coupled Oscillation Socks feature a modern take on a traditional twisted-stitch stocking. Use a solid or a semi-solid yarn in a lighter color to best display the intricate twists and turns!

A complex physics problem represented in a sock? Perhaps only in the most simplistic way - but the interactions of the four strands of the central motif seem to mimic the complex oscillations of several interacting systems.
