Wooden boardwalks, fishing nets, and the possibility of dragons. Passed over stitches and simple lattice lace make up these textured socks, perfect for keeping your feet warm and dry.

Size and Gauge:
• This pattern includes three sizes: 56-stitch, 64-stitch, and 72-stitch, which will fit most adults. To adjust fit, go up or down a needle size based on your preferences.
• Approximately 8 stitches per inch.

Needles:
• I used 2.25mm (US size 1) needles, but please use whichever size of sock needles works for you.
• I used 32-inch-long circular needles for magic loop.

Yarn:
