The never setting constellation, Draco snakes its way throughout much of the northern sky each night. Draco’s head star, Eltanin, rains fire each autumn in the form of the Draconid meteor shower. This sock pattern evokes the scaly back of the dragon while still being simple enough to work on while star gazing and looking out for meteors.

The Eltanin Sock pattern is sized as follows:
-Small 6.25 inch foot circumference
-Medium 7 inch foot circumference
-Large 8 inch foot circumference

These measurements allow for about 1 inch of negative ease.
