Boatyard Socks

For sailors, work in the boat yard can often feel very stop-and-go. One day you might find yourself busy sanding wooden railings for a solid 6 hours, while the next day could leave you with little to do but sit back and watch your varnish dry! That’s where these specially designed socks come in, making them ideal for those intermittent working times. The unique leg texture is intuitive and once established, it can be easily followed without constantly referencing your paper pattern. Plus, our modified boomerang heel features a convenient ‘rest spot’ in the middle, perfect for those moments when you can't complete the entire project in one go. So why wait? Get started on these delightful socks now, and dream of your next day back out on the shimmering water!

This fantastic sock pattern is knit from the cuff down, making it accessible for knitters of all skill levels. With a modified boomerang heel, you'll find it not only functional but also a joy to create. Both the leg length and foot length are customizable, allowing you to tailor the fit to your personal preferences for ultimate comfort. Whether you’re planning to wear them on chilly days at the boat yard or gift them to a fellow sailor, these socks will surely become a beloved addition to your wardrobe.
