The Shop Window Socks were inspired by an antique window that hangs in the Taproot Market in Portland, Maine. Where did that window originate? How many people have peered through it over the years? How many have admired it there in the shop? Knit these socks and the story of this window will continue—connecting us as a community through craft.

The finished Shop Window Socks are mid-ankle height, comfortable to wear year-round. They are worked from the top down, starting with twisted ribbing, and feature a window-inspired geometric colorwork design on the leg. They have a flap and gusset heel with a subtle diamond texture on the heel flap. Ribbing on the top of the foot continues the vertical lines of the colorwork design and gives a snug fit, and a small band of diamond colorwork is added just before the toe. A perfect relaxing and portable summer knit!
