Socks are a quick, portable knitting project, but with numerous ways to create the heels and toes, they can seem complex. This accessible book breaks down the key construction techniques with step-by-step tutorials and examples, to demystify the process for new knitters and inspire more confident knitters with new stitch patterns and finishes. Measuring guides, yarn advice and design considerations also ensure you can produce socks that are not only well-knitted, but fit well and are comfortable too. Topics covered include: types of yarn, needles and equipment, including how to use circular and double pointed needles; sock construction techniques for different heels and toes and finally, sizing and measuring with consideration to different sock styles and purposes. There are thirteen complete sock patterns to practise the different construction techniques.
This is a comprehensive guide to sock knitting aimed at beginners but with plenty to teach more experienced sock knitters too. -- CB, Knitting Magazine Issue 234 * Knitting Magazine Issue 234 *
This handy little guide is a great starting point for novice sock knitters. -- Kirsty McCloud, Knitter * Knitter *
This is the book I wish I had when starting to knit socks. There are some very technical books on sock knitting on the market, and this one I would pitch at those starting out or wanting to understand sock design and looking to customise or branch out from the plain simple sock designs. At £9.99 this would make a great gift for someone just starting to make socks or for those of us wanting to try some different techniques. I wholeheartedly recommend it. -- Natalie Tidy, Slipknot Magazine * Slipknot Magazine *
This would be a very useful book for an ‘improver’ who wanted to expand their range of techniques and skills. -- Heather Seddon, Journal of Weavers, Spinners and Dyers * Journal of Weavers, Spinners and Dyers *
