Creepy castles, stormy skies and waters, bats—and, of course, the requisite vampires and their victims…is it any wonder that Dracula has captured our imaginations? This sock is named after the Count’s first female victim in England, Lucy Westenra. The best friend of Mina Harker and beloved by no fewer than three suitors, Lucy is an intriguing character. You can read her character in many ways, but however you choose to read her, I hope you enjoy knitting this simple and pretty sock.

The Medium and Large sizes both are based on the same set of numbers. The difference in size is achieved by working the Medium in a light fingering yarn and smaller needles, resulting in a smaller stitch and round gauge. The Small and Large socks are designed for a regular fingering weight yarn, knit with a gauge of 33 sts and 44 rnds = 4” 10 cm in Stockinette stitch blocked.
