      Synopsis


      From cast-on stitches to binding off, this handbook details the simple steps needed to turn seemingly complicated sock knitting projects into easy and enjoyable activities. Helpful photographs and instructional drawings ensure that even inexperienced knitters will be able to produce high-quality socks and handle more complicated techniques, such as the Kitchener stitch at the toe. Using instructions for five different sizes—from child through adult large—at five different gauges, knitters can produce styles ranging from delicate dress socks to thick and furry slipper socks. More adventurous knitters can add variety and flair by following one of 16 unique designs or trying one of the dozens of rib, cable, and lace patterns provided. With plenty of tips and a handy stitch dictionary, this guide unleashes the creativity and fun of sock knitting.

      I Love This Book!by Anonymous

      June 20, 2009: When I purchased this book, I had only knit a scarf before. I am not a proficient knitter, but I am pleased to say that I just finished my first sock and it looks great. I used a variegated yarn that knits a cool pattern into the sock, but I can't wait to try knitting one of the many cabled patterns illustrated. Don't let intimidation keep you from knitting socks anymore. This book is so sequential in detail that you can't go wrong.

      January 15, 2009: This is truly the only book you need to learn to knit socks. I tried to "get it" from other sock knitting books but ended up frustrated and not understanding. When I came upon this book in the bookstore, I thought as I perused it that it might work. But I didn't really appreciate the book until I "Got Started". So, if you have gone down the same path as I have, and would like to crack the sock knitting puzzle, I believe you will be very pleased with this book.

      I Also Recommend: Teach Yourself VISUALLY Handspinning, Basic Knitting, One-Skein Wonders, Maran Illustrated Knitting and Crocheting.
