Folk Socks

In this book not only do you learn to knit classic socks using various heel-turning and toe-shaping, but you can go on to knit 18 traditional and historical patterns, each quite different. Instructions are illustrated with complete stitch and pattern charts. The survey of sock parts, including many styles of heels and toes, enlarges and challenges the knitter's skill beyond the boring structures of the past industrial sock age. Detailed color photos accompany text, diagrams teach and black & white photos do justice to archive sources.
