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.
Creating simple, personalized socks for men and women is easy with this project book that provides step-by-step instructions accompanied by photographs and illustrations. It teaches how to custom fit basic crochet socks in six different styles: all patterns feature the toe-up style of sock making that allows stitchers to shape the socks as they go along, instead of making adjustments in the final stage. This pattern collection also includes tips on measuring and suggestions on types of yarn to use.
From trendy teenage girls to thirty-something professionals, everyone is hand-stitching these days. "Stitch Style Socks" is a collection of contemporary and urban projects that'll keep you constantly inspired and motivated and putting your best foot forward. Each project is accompanied by full-colour photography and easy-to-follow instructions. From striped laced knee-highs to pompom-embellished anklets, there's a style here for every season and occasion. Best of all, projects are portable so you're free to knit anywhere you go.
The popularity of "Not Just Socks" has been phenomenal. Who know so many knitters were working with self-striping sock yarns? This expanded collection continues to explore the possibilities of these popular yarns, using some old favourites and introducing new stripe styles now available. While "Not Just Socks" used mostly basic stitches, the patterns in this book take advantage of more complex techniques and unusual construction methods to exploit the colour changes in self-striping yarns. That said, the projects are still within the reach of all but the newest of beginners. Jump in and try something new. Self-striping yarns can make every knitter look like an expert.
