How to Knit Socks that Fit: Techniques for Toe-Up and Cuff-Down Styles (Storey Basics)

This is a great book for new knitters and for those of us who have had previous experience. It’s a great reminder of all of the techniques.

This is a good book to have as a handy reference to correcting problems you might encounter in knitting your own socks. I love knitting socks because they have many techniques that can be used and socks are always easy to take with you anywhere and they are as simple or as complicated as you enjoy knitting them.This book helps you have a clear understanding of the basics of a perfect fit where you can create your own perfect style to fit your feet. I love it as a kindle because I have it with me at all time and it is simple to refer to a section and even highlight it.If you love knitting socks make sure you have this book by Donna Druchunas at your side for a reference.

The author is more into the description of knitting and color changes than some of the expert points of knitting a sock. I wanted directions about turning a heel that were easier to understand.

This book is excellent and a great reference and refresher. Good for a confident beginner and for anyone who wants to further advance their knowledge and skill on sock knitting. It is a short read and covers all the basics and then some. What I am most impressed with is the Kindle version of the book. The navigation is awesome and easy to access the subjects you desire. I would definitely recommend this book and I would especially recommend Purchasing the book on Kindle.

I almost never write reviews but was so pleased with this book that I couldn't resist. I'm an experienced sock knitter but I really wanted something that would help me to understand the "big picture" of socks better. I've owned a few sock knitting books but this one is my favorite by far. The author does a tremendous job of breaking everything down into the simplest terms. There are no photos, which I don't mind at all, as the black & white drawings are super helpful. I can't recommend this book highly enough.

Very happy with my purchase

I bought this book for a friend to help her learn how to knit socks. I have my own technique that was derived from several books when I was getting comfortable with my own design. I helped her sort out problems when she needed help and it was a great help.

A very concise sock knitting book ranging from how to chose yarn to blocking. Different styles: cuff down and toe up are discussed as well as knitting styles including: double pointed needles, knitting in the round with 2 circulars or magic loop Patterns are included.

Gostei muito do livro tudo explicado em detalhes, em inglês e sem muitas figuras.

A very handy little book to have.

I knit socks a lot, having found a pattern that fits me well, but I would like to be able to try other patterns and know how to adjust them to fit well. I have learned some very useful tips and understand better what I am doing, and why. Not sure I will try all of the ideas in this book, but I will have plenty to work towards!

Libro repleto de información y consejos para quienes quieran tejer calcetines. Incluye patrones sencillos de calcetines tejidos de arriba abajo y de los dedos hacia arriba, patrones de punto elástico para darles diferentes aspectos y consejos tanto para agujas circulares como para agujas de doble punta.En ocasiones los dibujos que acompañan a las explicaciones pueden ser un poco confusos y/o se hubiera agradecido algún dibujo adicional. Incluye al final del todo un cuadro con conversiones directas de pulgadas a centímetros, indicando medidas muy usadas al tejer como 3/8", cuya conversión puede abrumar cuando no se está muy familiarizado con las medidas americanas (a mí me viene genial para conocer el calibre o separación de los pines de mis telares).Un libro muy aconsejable para quienes se manejen con el inglés y sean autodidactas, como es mi caso.

I love it
