Breakwater Socks, my first collaboration with Brine Dyeworks, are a striped mosaic colour work sock.

We like options! As such I have included both toe-up and cuff-down instructions in the pattern. You can work these in your preferred in-the-round method.

I have included charted and written instructions for the mosaic pattern. As well as an extensive discussion around sizing. I’ve laid out specific measurements for each section of the sock in a schematic and explained where to add length to the foot of the sock for your perfect fit.

We also like colour options!! 2-colours with or without contrasting toe and cuff, or 5-colours to use those minis! You can totally customize Breakwater to create your own unique sock!
