5.0 out of 5 stars Amazing Instructional Book
This book is wonderful, beautiful colored photos and excellent explanations from beginning to end. There are great patterns and so many tips that help to make knitting socks fun and easy. Thanks so much Summer Lee!
5.0 out of 5 stars All you need to know about socks!
This is a fabulous book for beginner sock knitters and more advanced knitters alike. It takes you through every construction and heel type and progresses in difficulty as you move along. Summer Lee has a wonderful flair for color choices and these socks are all fabulous with varied styles to suit everyone.
5.0 out of 5 stars Sock Knitter's Dream
I have become addicted to knitting socks and watch the author's very enjoyable and informative podcast. Her sense of humor comes through in her writing too. Her book has great directions for making many types of heels and a large number of sock patterns and I want to make them all! (I just counted them, there are 26 patterns.) The patterns start with basic socks and move on to socks with cables, socks with colorwork, socks with fades, socks with lace and socks with slipped stitches. Most patterns use fingering weight yarn but a few use DK for when you want a chunky sock. The directions are very clear and include many photographs. A chapter on the many possible materials that can be used (needles, yarns and notions) is very helpful, as is the chapter on sizing. This is a very user friendly book and one that you will be glad to have in your knitting library.
5.0 out of 5 stars beautiful & useful - great for knitters unfamiliar with art of sock knitting
I learned to knit 40 years ago and have knit socks, but have not perfected the art of sock knitting. And it really is an art. I ordered this book based on excellent word of mouth among podcasters and have been impressed with both patterns and really beautiful photography. I've certainly collected enough sock yarn - now just need to practice using some of the fabulous color ideas set out by Summer in this wonderful book.
5.0 out of 5 stars Summer Lee writes fantastic directions for sock knitting
We are new to knitting, nonetheless, decided to try socks and bought the book by Summer Lee. She does an outstanding job in writing concise, clean patterns even a beginner can understand. The first pair of socks we made are fabulous and am proud to give as Christmas presents this year. Thank you, Summer Lee!
5.0 out of 5 stars Beautiful, fun, informative!
Knitters, you will love this book! If you have never knitted a sock, Summer Lee will lead you through the process with wonderfully clear instructions and gentle humor. If you have knitted scores of socks, she will inspire you, expand your sock-knitting horizons and encourage you to try new designs, colors, and techniques. The photographs are gorgeous, the array of spectacular sock patterns is positively mind-bending, and the text is a joy to read. This is a book I will turn to again and again!

4.0 out of 5 stars Lighthearted fun knitting book, not necessarily for a beginner
Overall I enjoyed this book and am using one of the patterns to knit my first pair of socks., The book is colorful, enjoyable to read and I like Summer’s fun writing style. I am not a new knitter. I’ve made numerous sweaters, hats, scarves and shawls. Even with my level of knitting I found some of the details skimpy and a basic understanding of some knitting terms assumed. Summer knits using the magic loop method and even though other needles and methods are discussed the instructions are written from that perspective. That makes the instructions hard to follow in particular with the instructions for the German short row heel sock. Summer says plainly it isn’t her favorite style of sock to knit and I thought that was evident from her instructions. I wasn’t enjoying it too much either until I found another tutorial on the internet to follow. It winds up that is the version I like and that fits me best, which I would not have known if I followed Summer’s instructions. For example if you are using shorty circular needles you’ll need to place 3 markers in addition to your end of row marker not two. On the second part of the heel you’re removing the third marker not the second. I think a new knitter using anything other than magic loop would find the instructions confusing. Overall though if you’re a knitter and you like socks I’d recommend the book. The additional 25 sock patterns give you a wide variety to chose from. If you plan to do a German short row heel sock however with any other method than magic loop I’d recommend using a different tutorial than the one in the book.
Magnifico
Credo che Summer Lee sia una delle più brave magliaie di calzini colorati. Il libro è chiaro e i pattern sono molto belli.
En skatt bland sockböcker!
Som jag faktiskt hörde någon annan säga idag om denna bok: "Är du intresserad av att lära dig göra sockor, så är denna bok nästan det enda du behöver!"Så som sagt, en riktigt bra bok! Och kan tilläggas att författaren av boken har en suverän kanal på Youtube och visar där bland annat hur hon gör sin "Basic Sock" tydligt och klart så det hjälpte mig som är nybörjare att faktiskt göra färdigt en socka! 😊
Excellent book for beginners and experienced knitters
I have quite a few sock books , but this books is in my opinion is the best. Whether you are new to sock knitting or more experienced. It is well written step by step , and plenty of patterns , 25 . Definitely recommend this book

Maravillosa compilación para inspirar proyectos de calcetines y para seguí aprendiendo
Adore this book
I discovered Summer Lee on YouTube and instantly fell in love with her socks! She has such flair for designing socks. Besides that she's also got a lovely warm and fun personality that makes her really relatable, which is what really made me want to buy this book. I am a fairly new knitter that has knitted socks before and wants to get better, so for me this book is perfect as it goes over all the basics and then moves you gently into more advanced and interesting patterns. It's very well written, has beautiful photography and more of her humour and personality. Eagerly await her next book.
