Sock Innovation: Knitting Techniques & Patterns for One-of-a-Kind Socks

by Cookie A

Interweave Press, LLC | April 1, 2009 | Trade Paperback

Unconventional, rule-breaking socks are part and parcel in this unique guide to sock knitting that includes 15 new sock patterns. The skills of the average sock knitter are increased through design exploration and advanced stitch manipulation, treating the sock as a knitted canvas where elements are strategically and intentionally placed. New designs of floral lace patterns, angular geometric shapes, and unusual cables are presented along with detailed instructions on modifications to suit needs and aesthetics. The incredible range of style and complexity in this guide runs from sweet and simple to delightfully imaginative.

    I love this book. Cookie has amazing sock designs which are pretty easy to knit up. She explains why and how she does things and isn't the typical how to book. Very informative, with more than one pattern (pretty much all!) that you will want to knit up. Can't wait for her next book.

    A Must Have

    Lynn Walma

    With 15 incredible original patterns the book is a bargain and a "must have" for any sock knitter. In the first few chapters Cookie A outlines a variety of techniques and options with lots of supporting photos - invaluable for those who want to design their own patterns, or just understand sock architecture more thoroughly. I cast on for my first pair as soon as I got the book home!
