"Whether you knit them toe-up or top-down, getting just the right fit on hand knit socks can be a major challenge! In Custom Socks, Kate Atherley sets out to teach knitters of all levels the skills and tools they need to understand sock fit, and to knit a pair of socks that fit properly. She calls on her years of experience as Knitty's managing technical editor, where she has edited hundreds of sock patterns, to share this information in a way that is easy to understand with patterns that inspire. So go ahead and treat yourself to these 15 original sock patterns that are easily customizable and work with any needle configuration. Your feet will thank you!"--back cover.

COMMUNITY REVIEWS

A must for sock knitters new and old! submitted by nsvinicki on August 23, 2019, 1:20pm This book is an amazing resource for creating custom-knit socks for any size foot. The author not only includes size charts for US and European shoe sizes, but gives you patterns and instructions on how to calculate and write a pattern custom to YOUR foot!
My partner wears size 13 shoes, and finding patterns big enough for him is hard. This book made it super easy to make him socks that he loves!
Some patterns included for general sizes, and lots of patterns for different types of heels and toes, as well as increases and decreases. She also demystifies when and why some pattern elements are used in lieu of others.
