Normally, my patterns have great nature inspired background story from the Grand Tetons. This pair of socks has no such story.

I started out with one idea and this pair of socks were not cooperating. I went back to the drawing board again and again until I gave into what they wanted to be. Hence, their name, Twist of Fate.

The twisted rib cuff effortlessly blends into the twisted rib pattern of decreases and increases to create the curving pattern.

There are 3 different versions of charts for the leg and foot, one for
each size: Size Small, Size Medium, and Size Large. Use the appropriate chart for the size being worked.
