Road Through Midnight Socks
Criss-crossing cables and two weight options are the hallmarks of the Road Through Midnight Socks, a quick shortie pattern for when you’re racing through through time and only a quick project will do.
Drawing inspiration from The Winternight Trilogy by Katherine Arden, the three-pattern Winternight Collection is made for nights when you need a little extra comfort from your knitting.

Sizes are presented as DK sizes first, then Fingering sizes inside the square brackets. I highly recommend highlighting your size throughout the pattern before casting on.
