Inspired by the guardian spirits of home and hearth in The Bear and the Nightingale, this sock pattern is ultra cozy—just the thing for curling up with a great book. The wide cables, designed to look like fireplace openings, work beautifully with tonal yarn or your wildest variegated skeins. Don’t forget a mini for your cuffs and toes!

Drawing inspiration from The Winternight Trilogy by Katherine Arden, the three-pattern Winternight Collection is made for nights when you need a little extra comfort from your knitting.

This pattern is written top-down for a Magic Loop needle setup.
