Description

Master the traditional method of knitting socks with expert knitter and author Donna Druchunas. Donna guides you through sock fitting, heel shaping, and stitch pattern choices. You’ll learn to use three different needle types (double-pointed needles, two circular needles, or the magic loop). Even super-experienced sock knitters will discover inspired variations on heels and toes, stitches, yarns, needles, and colors. Whether you customize the universal pattern or tackle one of Donna’s three bonus sock designs, you will love the results.
