Boomerang Socks are a comfortable unisex design worked seamlessly from the toe up. Their timeless 2 × 2 rib and anatomically shaped German short-row heel create a clean everyday style with a relaxed, sporty feel.

Thoughtful gusset shaping provides a comfortable fit around the heel and ankle. The pattern is written for the Magic Loop method but can also be worked on double-pointed needles.
