Step-by-step instructions

Author Lynne Rowe, holds your hand and talks you through three kinds of basic socks with step-by-step images for every step of the way. Learn how to knit cuff-down, toe-up and two-needle socks from scratch.

Anatomy of a sock

Learn about the structure of socks and their important features – socks need to be practical, and an understanding of the different features will help you to knit the perfect pair of socks.

Choose your style

There are lots of different tools used to knit socks and this book covers all the options so you can find out whether you prefer long circulars, double pointed needles (DPNs), small circulars or flexible DPNs.

The great thing about socks is that there is so much variety - you can vary the size of the cuff, change the heel and alter the toe and until you find your perfect style.

As well as instructions for the basic socks there are 10 projects from some of the most exciting international sock designers in a range of abilities so you can try out your new skills.

The easy cable and twisted rib pattern means that you don’t need to knit a separate cuff for these socks, and the cables create great texture.

Vikki Bird @vikkibirddesigns

These toe-up socks have a forethought heel and twisty cables and are made using beautifully soft merino yarn for a luxurious feel.

Carmen Jorissen @newleafdesigns.nl

These toe-up socks were inspired by Fair Isle motifs and have a striping effect created by alternating pairs of contrasting colors.

Christine Perry @winwickmum

These easy, beginner friendly socks have an interesting textured pattern created using just knit and purl stitches.
