Whether you’re new to sock knitting or have knit countless pairs for yourself and loved ones, you’ll be delighted at the endless options and combinations that you’ll be able to create with our new book, Socktacular! Mix & Match Socks for Fancy Feet.
Here’s how it works:
- choose to work the socks top-down or toe-up
- pick one of three styles each for the toe, heel and cuff
- add in one of twelve stitch patterns
And that’s how easy it is to create hundreds of unique and customized hand-knit socks. The book includes full instructions for both toe-up and top-down socks, which means everyone is happy! Personally, I prefer toe-up socks though I’m tempted to try a top-down version for myself in order to mix up my sock knitting routine.
I’ve put together a few of my favorite combinations for both top-down and toe-up styles – it’s a bit like following along with a choose your own adventure book, and that makes for extremely fun knitting!
