Resin is the perfect boot sock for active guys.  The socks knit up quickly, with a geometric stitch pattern that creates extra warmth, and a dense gauge in DK weight yarn that makes for great durability.

They’re simple but interesting to knit, with a engaging and easily memorized stitch pattern that excels at showing off hand-dyed yarn.  Resin is knit toe up with a short row heel, which means the height is customizable.  Use exactly half your yarn for socks that match perfectly.  The hemmed cuff provides a clean, comfortable top.
