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.

Cookie A has designed socks for the online knitting magazine, Knitty and the Blue Moon Fiber Arts Rockin’ Sock Club as well as for her own pattern line that is nationally distributed. She has appeared on the television program Knitty Gritty and has taught workshops around the country. She lives in Mountain View, California.
