Product Description:
From cast-on stitches to binding off, this handbook details the simple steps needed to 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. Using instructions for five different sizes—from child through adult large—at five different gauges, knitters can produce styles ranging from delicate dress socks to thick and furry slipper socks. More adventurous knitters can add variety and flair by following one of 16 unique designs or trying one of the dozens of rib, cable, and lace patterns provided. With plenty of tips and a handy stitch dictionary, this guide unleashes the creativity and fun of sock knitting.

This is a great little book that has wonderful diagrams and pictures that will teach you how to learn to knit socks. I found this to be thorough and easy to understand and helped me conquer my fear of knitting socks. Would recommend this one in a heart beat. It was the first book on knitting socks I purchased and I think this is a good one for a beginner. It has been a very useful reference book and I find myself going back to it time and again.
I'd recommend this one in a heartbeat.

I bought this book based on its great reviews. I am finding it very difficult to follow. The authors keep referring to Needle 1, Needle 2, and Needle 3 and then say see Figure 1, 2 etc. ---- well, none of the Figures have any labeling on them as to which needle is which. I don't know what the other sock books are like, but I don't recommend this one.

This book is meant for DPNs and not for circular needles. So if you want to learn to use DPNs to knit a sock this is a really nice book! I actually really like the photos and instructions and tips given in the book. They are detailed and for a self-taught beginner knitter like me learning to use DPNs, very nice.
The only issue which I felt was important, which was not really addressed in the book was using the circular needle method to knit socks. With the growing use of circular needs ... Read More

I've just started knitting socks and recommend this to other beginners. She's included instructions and charts for different sizes and different yarns. The hard back is durable for frequent referral.

This book IS for beginners. It has excellent photos and figures, with clear, precise instructions. It also has side-bars pointing out potential pitfalls and how to deal with them. It gives a choice of methods, leaving the beginner free to explore what works best for him or her.
If you're an advanced sock knitter, I personally probably wouldn't spend the money, since any issues you might be having can be researched on the internet for free.
