Socks are among the favorite projects of experienced knitters, yet they may seem daunting to the novice knitter. Fear no more! This book walks the new sock knitter step-by-step through the basics. If you can knit and purl, you can knit you own socks. Each step is broken down into basic, easy-to-understand elements and clearly illustrated with photographs and drawings.
