Knitters love to make socks. Socks are practical and pretty,
cozy and colorful. Sock projects are easily carried in a knitting
bag, and the patterns are complex enough to be interesting but
small enough to be quickly finished. Plus, socks are always fun to
wear and great to give as gifts.
Now "Knit Socks ," the little die-cut hardcover that sold more
than 65,000 copies, is available in a paperback edition that
includes two all-new sock patterns. But that s not all. Sock
knitters will find much more in this revision to feed their sock
addictions, such as helpful new advice on choosing sock yarns what
feels the best, what holds its shape, what really lasts.
And what is a knitter to do if a pattern looks interesting, but
she wants to substitute a lighter yarn for the chunky, warm wool
specified? A new chart provides alternative yarn weights and the
corresponding number of stitches needed for each of the patterns
and sizes. Knitters might also want to experiment with two circular
needles. Or four double points. There s advice here for adapting
any pattern to any type of needle.
With all the variations and possibilities, "Knit Socks " goes
far beyond its 17 patterns. Creative knitters will find an endless
array of exciting options for keeping feet comfortable, warm, and
beautiful.
