New England Socks Pattern

by Nancy Bush

Directions for this project inKnitting on the Road, shown below. Inspired by Nancy Bush’s many visits to New England, this lovely pair features a center diamond pattern that is charted for convenience. The decorative rib is replaced by stockinette in the back after four inches for a smooth fit, and the heel construction is traditional heel flap. Careful attention to the lace chart will be rewarded as the beautiful pattern evolves before your eyes. Shown in Essential Grass.

View More Images Knitting on the Road by Nancy Bush "This book was inspired by journeys, by crowded airports and hotel rooms in faraway cities. I have always recommended that traveling knitters take along a small project, one worked on small needles with fine yarn...Socks are great travelers’ projects...Some of the socks will be quick to knit, others will take more time; your knitting may fill that two-week vacation or only a six-hour layover." This well-designed and thoughtful book will keep you company through all of your travels. It is a spiral bound book and lays flat for easy reference. The hard-bound cover will withstand lots of wear and tear while traveling. Spiral bound. 17 projects—96 pages. Item No. 30584 Retail: $18.95 Your Cost: $11.37 Save 40%
