Nouveau Deco Socks

> This pattern was originally designed as a > competition pattern for Sock Madness > 19 (2025). If you are interested in the > contest or a friendly group that likes > challenges, check out the [group][1]. These feminine, toe-up, partially mirrored socks feature a twisted-stitch ribbing sprinkled with texture and cables. Art deco style fans step in a spiral partway around the sock leg. Worked on the bottom of the foot, the heel gusset leads to a reinforced heel turn and flap. The patterned cuff caps the sock with a flair of three larger fans, creating a gentle scallop. This pattern requires reading both written directions and charts. Techniques used include knit, purl, slipped stitches, twisted stitches in both directions, 2-stitch cables and 3-stitch twists with twisted stitches, wrapped stitches, short-rows, and several increases and decreases. Links to video and photo tutorials are included. The pattern has a couple changes from the competition pattern: Some wording changes for clarity and an added chart and directions to extend the cuff to include more fans in the Medium and Large sizes. The Small and, with these directions, the Large will have 2 ribs between fans at the back of the leg. The Medium can have the cuff fans continuous around the leg with the added chart.
