Dragon Island

“Sleeping on a dragon’s hoard with greedy, dragonish thoughts in his heart, he had become a dragon himself.” - The Voyage of the Dawn Treader

Sleek and stylish, these cabled socks are cleverly constructed to transform your feet armed only with a set of knitting needles. Beginning with an anatomically correct toe, twisted cable stitches create the appearance of dragon scales that grow as you continue along the foot of the sock. Worked quickly without the need for a cable needle, the scales continue to expand as you cable around the leg. The left and right socks are worked as mirror images of one another, creating chic new transformative footwear to please your inner dragon. 
(Please note: cables are charted ONLY.)
