Be a little different with your footwear! This simple to use flip book gives options for different patterns of sock parts: cuff, leg and body. Read the instructions first to ensure a good fit of sock, and have the option of using four needles or twin/wire needles. Encouraged to design your own socks, you will find the instructions are to the point and clear to follow. Bring back socks!

I didn't find this book as helpful as I had hoped. The yarn used for the photographs made it very difficult to see the textures and patterns. All the socks appeared to be the same size with little useful advice on how to adapt the size to fit. I would have like to have seen more variety in the leg sections, being the part most people will notice in a sock. The book uses American sizes and terminology, although there is a conversion chart. Having said that, the instructions were very clear and easy to follow, and guided me through my first pair of socks. I went elsewhere for my second pair however.

After reading the reviews on this book I was sold, but unfortunately it was not quite what I expected. All the socks are knitted in the same yarn by SWTC, so no variation but you can subsitute. I also found finding needle sizes used listed under yarn choices, which would make sense as there is only one yarn type but it took a while to find after looking through most of the book after missing them the first time.
All the patterns are great and the split pages with the pictures of the sock parts (not the patterns themselves)are great for mixing and matching designs. I would not recommend this for a complete beginner but something to work towards.

Beautiful socks
My daughter is the knitter & says this book is magic. There are so many variations on a theme & the instructions are easy to follow. I certainly appreciate the results!

socks a la carte
This book in my opinion is a must have for sock knitters. It opens up new ideas on sock knitting. The only problem I encountered was I had not come across 'wrap' a stitch before. Read more

What a fun book for the compulsive sock knitter - only one comment - too much of the book is taken up with the flip pages and they are all one colour - so the effect is less... Read more

A Great Idea!
This is a brilliant idea for anyone who loves knitting socks. For absolute control of the design its a must. Choose your own mix and match cuff; heel and toe. I love this book.
