Dragonfire Socks are dramatic stranded-colorwork socks featuring a bold dragon motif, a blazing ring of fire, and jewel-toned scales flowing down the foot. Designed for fantasy readers, dragon lovers, and knitters who enjoy colorwork with a little theatrical flair.

The socks are worked cuff down in the round and include separate charts for both stitch counts. A short-row heel keeps the construction streamlined, while an optional reinforced slip-stitch heel is included for knitters who prefer a sturdier heel.

Pattern includes:
• Adult S/M: 72 stitches
• Adult L/XL: 80 stitches
• Separate charts for both sizes
• Written cuff, heel, foot, toe, and finishing instructions
• Standard short-row heel
• Optional reinforced slip-stitch short-row heel
• Kitchener stitch quick reference
• Full-color charts

Sample yarn:
Wollmeise Twin, 80% superwash merino wool and 20% nylon

Wollmeise colors used:
• Schwarz — black
• Natur — natural white
• Rosenrot — variegated red and pink scales

• Black
• 5682 White
• 5619 Christmas Red
• 5725 Carrot

High-contrast colors are recommended so the dragon, flames, and scale motifs remain clearly defined. Variegated yarn works especially well for the scales, creating subtle color changes throughout the foot.
