In Getting Started Knitting Socks, you’ll find basic instructions for knitting socks at five different gauges and for five different sizes. Whether you want to knit a pair of delicate dress socks for your ten-year-old niece, a pair of sturdy book socks for your older brother, or a pair of bulky slipper socks for yourself, we’ve got your feet covered. If you get tired of the basic sock, add some colour or texture, either by following one of the 16 patterns provided or by adding your own stitch pattern – dozens of rib, cable, and lace patterns are provided for your own experimentation.
