In Favorite Socks, Interweave offers 25 beautiful and timeless sock patterns for every occasion in a range of techniques, traditions, and designs. Many of these patterns have become unavailable as original issues of Interweave Knits went out-of-print - now they are handily bound together in this inspired collection. The adventurous knitter will find a classic, varied compilation of socks from renowned sock designers including Nancy Bush, Evelyn Clark, Priscilla Gibson-Roberts, and more. Patterns have comprehensive instructions for the various techniques used. Highlights include a tutorial for knitting socks on two circular needles and instructions for making resoleable socks. You'll even find 6 brand-new 'classics'. It's all here: the traditional cuff-down, toe-up, heel and instep knitted separately; ribs, cables, lace, colour patterns; delicate and elegant socks, sturdy and functional socks; socks for men and women, every season, every foot - and any knitter. Ann Budd is book editor for Interweave Press and former senior editor of Interweave Knits. She is the author of The Knitter's Handy Book of Patterns and The Knitter's Handy Book of Sweater Patterns.
