Knitter's Book of Socks

Clara Parkes

Description

Clara Parkes shows you how to knit socks from yarn up, following the sock yarn life cycle from its foundations to its final moments on a proud foot. By understanding a sock's basic needs – elasticity, strength and moisture management – you'll learn how to play with these tools like building blocks, confidently combining fiber, twist, ply, pattern and clever stitch tricks to construct your perfect pair of socks. Includes 20 fresh, original patterns that run the full gamut from simple knit-and-purl combinations suitable for beginners to innovative designs with lush colourwork, swirling cables and delicate lace. This book is ideal for knitters who want to understand the ins and outs of sock knitting "from the yarn up" and create a perfect pair of socks every time.
