Product Description
Product Description
The ultimate in creature comfort, soft and snuggly hand-knit socks are one of life's little luxuries, and this user-friendly book features 20 simple and stunning designs, many of which can be made up in a weekend. Each design is accompanied by step-by-step photographs showing every stage in the process, and diagrams giving added clarity to tricky stages. Learn basic stitches and failsafe construction methods, from the simplest techniques using two regular needles to easy ways with double-pointed and circular needles. Choose from chunky, funky, cute, and cozy designs for all the family: slouchy Sunday socks, butterfly and bumble bootees, stripy toddler toasties, and love-heart slipperettes. It is packed with advice on making extra special socks using sumptuous yarns and embellishments.

I recently bought a pair of handmade socks as a pressie for a relative - the recipient was thrilled with them and I thought to myself - why don't I try to make my own handknitted socks? - I bought this book only very recently and have just started to knit my first sock - Ms Trotmans book has very good patterns and instructions - and I was inspired to go out buy the needles and get cracking - I found that although the instructions were quite simple I still managed to 'get stuck' and resorted to going on line to look at other patterns and instructions - If I have a criticism it is that I would have preferred for Ms Trotman not to have included the baby bootees - as far as I am concerned they don't count as socks but that is a minor criticism. Easy knitted socks is a worthwhile purchase for novice sock knitters.

This book is okay but not enough plain socks, also don't give different sizes in the patterns out of the whole book i would say there would only be a couple i would knit I have only just done my first pair of socks so was looking for a very simple book which would help this is not it i found better & easier patterns for free on the internet this may be a better book when i learned more but certainly won't be one i will pick up to do my next few pairs of socks

I have only tried one pattern in this book - the basic tubular socks - after learning how to knit socks a while back. I seem to have hit a major glitch with the pattern in that it totally doesn't make sense. I'd consider myself an intermediate knitter and I can't figure out the problem, and neither can my mother who has been knitting for 40 years+!!! I can't vouch for the other patterns. Some of them are a little crazy for my taste so I'd say you'd probably be better off surfing the net for one of the free sock patterns, of which there are hundreds floating around, before spending money on this book.

socks galore
The book has patterns for two needles and four needle socks and that is one of the reasons I purchased the book having seen a review in a knitting magazine
