Boatyard Socks

For sailors, work in the boat yard is very stop-and-go. One day you’re busy sanding wooden railings for 6 hours, and the next day you have nothing to do but sit and watch your varnish dry! These socks are ideal for intermittent working times. The leg texture, once established, is easily followed without reference to your paper pattern, and the modified boomerang heel has a ‘rest spot’ in the middle in case you can’t complete it all in one sitting. So get started now, and start dreaming of your next day back out on the water!

This sock is knit from the cuff down, and uses a modified boomerang heel. The leg length and foot lenght are easily customised to suit your preferences.
