Sea Dinghy Sock
sock knitting pattern

This sturdy textured sock to knit in three sizes (S/M/L) will have classic appeal for any family member. Top-down construction with a flap heel and grafted toe allows the knitter’s attention to focus on the entertaining twist stitch motif. Don’t be afraid to personalize the method for a custom fit or to suit your knitterly preferences. The carved texture has so much depth and definition that even the softest yarn will produce a substantial, structured sock that holds its shape.
