2-At-a-Time Socks
Storey Publishing
Knitting two socks at once is a great way to speed up the process of knitting socks, and to ensure that your socks come out the same length when you're done. 2-At-a-Time Socks shows knitters how to work two socks on one circular needle and provides 17 patterns to try the method on.
Favorite Socks
Interweave Press.
Favorite Socks is a beautiful book from Interweave Press featuring some of the most popular sock knitting patterns ever published in Interweave Knits, Piecework and Spin-off magazines. The 25 patterns (which also include six new patterns) offer a wide range of options for socks including lace, colorwork and even resoleable socks.
Knitting Circles Around Socks
Martingale & Company.
Knitting Circles Around Socks shows knitters how to work two socks at the same time using two circular needles. This method might be a little easier for new sock knitters than trying two socks on one needle. The book includes a basic pattern and eight other patterns, as well as tips on converting patterns to be knit in this method.
Knitting on the Road
Interweave Press.
Sock knitters know that socks are a great project to take when traveling because they are small and often quite repetitive and meditative, so you don't have to pay a whole lot of attention while you work. Nancy Bush's Knitting on the Road offers 17 patterns inspired by her travels that you can try on your next road trip.
Stitch Style Socks
Martingale & Company.
If you're looking for socks that are decidedly not classic looking, Stitch Style Socks is the book for you. The 20 patterns in this book include instructions for legwarmers, slippers and socks, usually with embellishments such as pony beads, sequins or flowers. There's also a great houndstooth pattern and some cute socks with skulls.
Zen of Socks DVD
Society Socks.
Sometimes the best way to learn a new technique is to watch someone else do it. The Zen of Socks DVD allows you to watch and work along with an experienced sock knitter as she works through a sock. You can play the DVD over and over until you understand a technique, or watch it once and see your skill level increase.
