Publisher Comments:

Step-by-step guidance on knitting the hottest items out there--socks!

Sock knitting represents a huge slice of the knitting market--owing its popularity to its portability, affordability, and speedy pay-off, not to mention the wide variety of yarns available. This easy-to-follow guide walks readers through the techniques used to knit beautiful socks, from working in the round to turning a heel to grafting a toe. Patterns for top-down, toe-up, and flat socks enable readers to put their newfound skills to use and give them a basis for a lifetime of successful sock knitting.

Laura Chau (Toronto, ON) is a self-taught knitter, spinner, and dyer. She works as a custom dyer and teaches numerous classes at Toronto's popular yarn store Lettuce Knit. Laura has had multiple designs featured on knitty.com and maintains a popular knitting blog, cosmicpluto knits! at cosmicpluto.com/blog.

Synopsis:

Socks are portable, fun to knit, and quick to complete--and they make great gifts. This step-by-step guide walks you through all the techniques used to knit beautiful socks--from buying yarn to working on double-pointed needles, from turning a heel to grafting a toe. It covers knitting socks top-down, toe-up, and flat, explains how to create various heels and toes, and gives you a dozen original patterns for everything from baby booties to knee socks. Whether you're new to knitting or just new to socks, you'll learn the skills needed for a lifetime of creative sock knitting.
