This Dragonpine Designs pattern was designed by Janet Filipchuk.

This pattern is written for the LK150 knitting machine (mid-gauge 6.5mm knitting machine). Pattern includes extensive written instructions (11 pages) and a full-page sock sizing chart for information on how to adjust the pattern for baby socks all the way up to a full-sized Christmas stocking. Full row counts, needle number references, needle position, and carriage positions are given in easy to follow written instructions for ease of keeping track of progress. Sock leg height and length of foot can be easily modified, as well as changing number of stitches at the start to increase or decrease sock circumference.
