Pattern Description:

This is a free eBook that walks you through the steps you need to knit a sock (any gauge, yarn, needle size). Because it is an eBook, there are links throughout to tutorials and web pages that will help you with the trickier elements of construction(1).

Enjoy!

NOTE: Why the sideways format and big font? Because eBooks are weird, and if you're reading an eBook on a small screen, like an iPhone, you'll find that a sideways book is much easier to read.
