Overview


Socks are one of the most popular items to knit: they’re small and portable projects, and the yarn usually cost less than $10 per pair—much less of an investment than a sweater, which can run upwards of $100. But for the uninitiated, sock knitting can be intimidating. It’s fairly easy to find patterns, but books containing good instruction in the basic techniques are somewhat lacking. Teach Yourself VISUALLY Sock Knitting explains, step by step, all the essential methods involved, as well as provides a variety of patterns so that readers can put their new skills to use.
