One of the books I read more than any other is “The Hobbit”. During my last reading of it, I was struck by the description of Smaug as having a “waistcoat of diamonds”. Inspired by that phrase, I designed these socks.

There are four size options, ranging from adult small to extra-large, so whether you are a hobbit, a dwarf, an elf, a man, or a troll, you should be able to find a size that fits you.

One 100-gm skein of fingering weight sock yarn should be enough for most sizes, though if you have large feet you may wish to have an extra skein.

You will also need 64 size 6/0 seed beads to knit these as written. Pattern is written using the crochet hook technique for adding beads.
