In this book, expert sock knitters and designers Ewa Jostes and Stephanie van der Linden guide readers through the process of knitting socks, starting with overviews of materials and tools, the essentials of sock knitting, and how to determine which design elements are best suited to insteps and heels of various widths. Knitters can mix and match from among many different styles of cast-ons, cuffs, heels, and toes to create their own unique designs that fit just right. The book also includes information on knitting socks from the toe-up and on circular needles; 15 patterns, from cute socks for kids to elegant lace socks; and helpful tables for sizing and yarn choices.
