This is my first crack at publishing a pattern. Wish me luck.

These socks are inspired by the musical Natasha, Pierre, and the Great Comet of 1812

The project include two sizes. The smaller size uses a ‘scaled down’ version of the pictured sock’s chart.

Adult- 80 sts (Adult small- 72 sts)

This pattern was originally knitted and designed with DPN but can be adapted to your preferred needle type.

Stranded colorwork usually has less stretch that one-color stockinette, so plan for little to no negative ease.

The length of the foot can be adjusted by knitting additional eye of partridge rounds in the toe section.
