Chevron Sock Pattern

I love to do puzzles! I spent 2 months figuring this pattern out- later I saw directions for a Chevron pattern on a loom. But I did figure it out:) Anyways here is the pattern at long last. I love making them, but I really dislike writing. I wrote this many times and changed it. Today I realized my pattern was only for 64 pegs, so I rewrote it to include others. I really hope that you are able to understand my logic, please keep in mind this is my first pattern to write. Any tips and not to harsh criticism is appreciated. The pattern is in 2 parts. PartI is Toe Up Socks and Part II is Chevron Pattern. You can make this pattern leg down, you can make the pattern just on the leg part, and I am sure there are other ways that you can customize it. That is part of my reason for making it in 2 parts. The pattern is written for looms with 48, 56, 64, 68, 76, and 80 peg looms. If your loom has less or another number please let me know and I will try to help you. It is difficult to make the pattern on the upper foot part in looms with less than 44 pegs. This pattern could also be knitted as a flat panel. I tried this pattern on a bulky yarn with the KK and I did not care for it, but it might turn out better with another type of yarn. Let me know if you make anything with this- I would love to see pictures. I need to add to the pattern that the yarn I used is Cascade Fixation in the picture below, I am in the process of making one in Trekking Self Striping yarn.
