Sock Obsession

From Summer Lee, sock knitting guru and author of reader-favorite The Sock Project, a new collection of patterns for making socks in every shape and size, all in her signature palette of neon bright colors

From the author of The Sock Project comes a new book that helps knitters build their skills in fresh and exciting ways. This volume presents a variety of sock styles, from boot socks and ankle socks to loafer and cuffed styles, and a universe of techniques. Try your hand at cables, colorwork, ribs, and textured knitting with 25 easy-to-follow patterns, then customize your designs to make dozens of different looks! Chapters offer traditional Scandinavian and European sock designs, mod designs that would make MoMA proud, and socks with whimsical motifs like mushrooms, sheep, and lobsters!

Socks are perennial favorites because they’re addictively quick to make, require far less yarn than scarves or sweaters, and can be easily customized to fit. This patten collection provides a fun way to learn all sorts of techniques, and the instructions are progressive, meaning new knitters can start at the beginning and learn the basics before advancing to harder projects. And experts can turn to the patterns they’re most excited to make and dive right in.
