I designed the Grant’s Point socks to share the rugged beauty of coastal Maine with you! These socks contrast ropelike cables, clean lines, and pops of classic textured checks that can stand up to the stormy weather and rough seas that coast dwellers handle daily.

The extra long leg can be worn pulled high for maximum warmth or scrunched down for a more relaxed look, while the reinforced heel ensures these socks can handle all that life throws at them—whether it’s a tough day at sea or just a chilly morning on the trail.

They’re simple and dependable, written in a clean pattern format that is solid and trustworthy.

Intended to be worn with -1/-2.5 cm negative ease. Adjustable foot length. sample shown in size B

Socks are cast on at the cuffs and worked from the top down seamlessly in the round. The heel is worked as a traditional heel flap, then the foot of the sock is also worked in the round down to the toes which are grafted closed with Kitchener Stitch.
