Socks - Socks - Socks: 70 Winning Patterns from Knitter's Magazine Contest Rowley, Elaine and Xenakis, Alexis

Provides patterns for basic socks, as well as children's socks, Icelandic socks, lace socks, and socks featuring specific colors, textures, or whimsical themes

Several years ago, Knitter's Magazine announced a contest for knitted socks. This collection of 70 of the top winning patterns reflects the lowly sock as a canvas for marvelous designs and interesting projects. From the far-out (a pair of socks knitted from licoriceAthe knitter says she just eats her mistakes) to the traditional (the "Best of Show" socks carrying a complex pattern in three colors)Athe socks are all beautiful to behold. Each pattern includes several full-color photos of the finished pairs and complete instructions for reproducing the socks, including graphics and designer's comments. The beginning sock knitter will appreciate the "anatomy-of-the-sock" section, with a step-by-step overview of how a sock is knitted. Highly recommended for public and academic library textile collections.
