KNIT SOCKS
15 Cool Patterns for Toasty Feet
By Betsy Lee McCarthy
|
For anyone who's ever picked up a set of needles and thought about knitting a pair of socks.
Betsy McCarthy— a nationally renowned knitting teacher and designer of simple, innovative
knitwear patterns, recommends which types of yarn to use (wool and wool blends hold the sock's shape best),
and discusses the types of needles suitable for knitters of varying levels of skill (wooden or bamboo for
beginners, who knit more slowly; metal for speedy, experienced knitters). And McCarthy's tips on working
"in the round" using five needles will benefit even people who have knitted for years. The friendly,
step-by-step instructions and color-coded charts make Knit Socks! perfect for knitters of all skill levels.
