Once you have knitted a few pairs of socks the usual pattern stops being enough, you start wondering about two at a time, or a proper Fair Isle pair, or whether magic loop would suit you better than double pointed needles. The Sock Knitting Bible is written for that whole stretch, from the first sock you ever knit through to the ones you choose to make harder on purpose.

Written by Lynne Rowe, it opens with three basic socks worked step by step, enough for an absolute beginner to follow from cast on to toe, before moving into ten projects contributed by a range of sock designers, each bringing its own technique and style to the collection.

How it is structured

The book starts with the groundwork, casting on, choosing yarn for different sock styles, and the tools, double pointed needles, magic loop, small circulars and flexible DPNs, so you can decide what suits the way you knit. From there it works through toe up, cuff down and two at a time construction, then into the ten designer projects, which range across stripes, Fair Isle, cables and lace, plus a few styles that are simply sparkly or snuggly for the sake of it.

What is inside

Three basic sock patterns with full step by step instructions. Ten further projects by different sock designers, covering toe up, cuff down and two at a time construction, stripes, Fair Isle, cables and lace. Guidance on yarn choice and on the tools, double pointed needles, magic loop, small circulars and flexible DPNs.

Perfect for

Knitters who have made a sock or two already and want to branch out into colourwork, cables or a new construction method, and anyone building up a proper sock knitting reference to come back to project after project.

A book you will dip into for years rather than read once, with something new to try whichever sock you are on.

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

[36634] Knitpro Mindful Teal Retractable Tape Measure

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.

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!

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.
