Season’s Greetings fellow knitters, critters & D&D players! We hope this finds you well, cosy and ready to start the Winter’s Crest celebrations.

This Winter’s Crest we invite you to knit a toe-up pair of socks, featuring a German short-row heel and a fun little chart. The pattern features three sizes which are easily adjustable in length and a few different cuff options. We took the more subtle approach this year: the design features a festive tree and D20 motif. We hope you enjoy knitting them!
