Socks have a reputation for being the project that puts people off, heels especially, and turning one corner of fabric into a whole new direction always feels like the moment things could go wrong. No Fear Sock Knitting is written to take that fear out of it, step by step, so you are working from clear instruction rather than hoping you remember a video you watched once.

Written by Denise DeSantis, who knits and teaches as EarthtonesGirl with over 25 years of experience, and built from her YouTube series of the same name. It brings those step by step tutorials together with eight patterns, so you are never just reading about a technique, you are using it straight away.

How it is structured

The book works through the main sock knitting techniques one at a time: knitting in the round on circular or double pointed needles, the difference between toe up and cuff down construction, and heel and toe shaping including the shadow wrap heel, the afterthought heel, and wedge and round toes. Each technique then leads into one of the eight patterns, so you build your skills and finish a real pair as you go.

What is inside

Eight beginner friendly sock patterns. Step by step technique tutorials covering circular and double pointed needles, toe up and cuff down construction, the shadow wrap and afterthought heel, and wedge and round toes.

Perfect for

Knitters who have never knitted a sock and want it explained properly before they start, and anyone who has tried before and got stuck on a heel. It also works as a reference for more experienced sock knitters who want a refresher on a technique or two.

A patient, practical guide that turns socks from the project you avoid into the project you reach for.

Knitpro mindful retractable tape measure in Teal

I absolutely love the tool. It's gorgeous looking and very helpful. The tape is wider than usual ones. Doesn't get tangled

Quality Yarn, Great Service

Decided to check out the store while on vacation in Singapore and it did not disappoint. It was well stocked with beautiful displays and showed the diversity of quality yarns. As I’m new to crocheting, Cecilia spent over a hour patiently explaining things to me and helping me select some beautiful skeins and shawl pins. Overall, a lovely store with excellent customer service. Highly recommend and will return anytime I’m in Singapore.

Furls Odyssey Crochet hooks are the best

I am always extremely pleased using Furls Odyssey Crochet hooks as they are faultless! This one wasn’t the first purchased and I am sure it will not be the last. My parcel was delivered very fast, coming from the other half of the world ! Thank you Yarning Hearts! Good job, good job!

Soft Organic Yarn

These organic yarn comes in pretty pastel and bright colours with a light sheen. The cottony soft and smooth texture feels comfortable against the skin. We are very happy with the buy!

Soft and squishy

Very soft and squishy, can imagine would be very cozy to wear next to skin. And it feels good on the hands to knit with too.
