Simply Knitted Socks: 30 Beautiful Patterns to Create
“It’s a proper addiction and if I don’t have a sock on my needles as one of my works in progress, I just don’t feel right.” - Christine Boggis
Sock knitting is a rite of passage for knitters. To the uninitiated it may look daunting and unachievable: What are all those needles for? How do you turn a heel? Is it appropriate to keep talking about gussets? But for those in the know, socks are the perfect project: they are quick, portable, can be adapted from the most basic TV knitting to really stimulating challenges, and are interesting from top to toe - or the other way around.
Simply Knitted Socks is the perfect guide for anyone - seasoned knitter or complete beginner - looking to delve into the world of knitted socks to either create something for themselves, or to make bespoke and cosy gifts for men, women, and children. Split into simple sections will introduce you to most of the techniques you need to know for any sock knitting - or you can plunge right in with the more standard sock patterns in the third part of the book, many of which are simple enough to make a brilliant first sock knit. Who knew knitted socks were so much fun to make!
