Product Description
"Socks A La Carte" is the ultimate resource for sock knitters who want to design their own original patterns without starting completely from scratch. General instructions at the beginning of this book outline the basics of sock construction, including measuring feet and making calculations based on gauge. The unique flip section is where the pages are divided into three categories: cuff, leg and sock body, which includes the heel and toe. Readers can flip these pages to see how the individual elements work together and then mix and match these patterns to create unique sock style that they can then knit according their personal preferences. A bonus gallery will feature a number of finished sock styles in a variety of colours as inspiration for the reader.
