Once Upon a Twist
Discover the enchanting world of knitting with our latest fairy tale-inspired sock pattern, perfect for those who adore new variations and the evolution of beloved tales. These stunning socks feature intricate cables and twisted stitches that beautifully interpret the twists and turns woven throughout fairy tales.
The design showcases a captivating cable that gracefully winds down the back of the sock, seamlessly integrating into the heel flap. Upon picking up the gusset stitches, the cable pattern transforms into a delightful twisted stitch pattern that elegantly travels along the foot, ultimately allowing the two patterns to run side by side in harmony.
Both cable and twisted stitch patterns are thoughtfully presented in both written and chart formats, catering to every knitter's preference and skill level.
