Knitted Socks

Rezensionen / Stimmen

I am an avid sock knitter and was excited to review this book with the simple title Knitted Socks. The included socks range from ankle length up to knee length and the contents page has useful illustrations of each sock. The book has an attractive cover and contains 20 gorgeous patterns inspired by places around the world. [...]



In the introductory pages, abbreviations are clearly explained with instructions for techniques that may not be commonly encountered, for example 'yarn over from front'. There is also a useful page of knitting tips, which would help guide a less experienced sock knitter, together with a guide to sock yarn weights [...]



Instructions are clearly laid out with a good level of detail and charts are clear and easy to follow, being carefully colour-coded for both colourwork and stitch patterns. [...]



I love making socks and found this book very inspiring. [...] There are some beautiful patterns to be created and the book provides good value for its quality and the number of patterns included. -- Louise Perkinton, Slip Knot Magazine * Issue 182 * Wow what can I say, this book is an absolute inspiration, with beautiful illustrations and easy to follow charts. I have to say I'm quite new to sock knitting so I'm going to start with the desert sands socks and hopefully get more confident to stitch some of the beautiful fair isle designs. -- Bev Hackleton * Customer Review * This is another lovely book by the talented Niina Latinen. I already own her previous sock book so couldn't wait to get my hands on this one. Another 20 beautiful sock patterns inspired by all four corners of the globe.



There are different skill levels required but all have very clear instructions and charts which could be photocopied, enlarged and marked when using if necessary.



I think my favourites so far are Hanami cherry blossom socks, the Taj Mahal ones knitted in double knitting yarn, Skyfall and The Eiffel Tower socks named "Under Parisian Skies". Too many to choose from really. -- Carol Andreetti * Customer Review * Take a journey around the world with 20 sock patterns inspired by different places and cultures. With a mix of lace, cables, and striking colorwork, this book is perfect for adventurous knitters looking for their next challenge.



I can't wait to dive into these patterns! These stunning socks blend storytelling with craftsmanship - creating pieces that are as beautiful to wear as they are to knit!



Ideal for competent to experienced knitters, this book is perfect for knitters who love a mix of comfort and challenge in their sock projects. With clear instructions, extensive charts (often tailored for each foot), and beautifully evocative photography, they make following along a joy. Some patterns offer multiple sizes, while others include guidance for easy adjustments. Plus, Niina Laitinen provides detailed yarn usage for each design, making substitutions a breeze. * @littlebittydelights *
