With step-by-step instructions, expert tips, and a handy stitch dictionary, this guide unleashes the creativity and fun of sock knitting.

From cast-on stitches to binding off, Getting Started Knitting Socks details simple steps to help turn seemingly complicated sock knitting projects into easy and enjoyable activities. Helpful photographs and instructional drawings ensure that even inexperienced knitters will be able to produce high-quality socks and handle more complicated techniques, such as the Kitchener stitch at the toe.
