Ready to put all of this sock knowledge to use? On the following pages you’ll find detailed instructions for thirteen very different pairs of socks. The designs are for plain socks and fancy socks, and there are styles for both women and men. The patterns give details on the exact yarn used for the socks shown, but you should feel free to choose from the many yarns available—just be sure you like the feel of the yarn when it’s knitted at the specified gauge. Each pattern includes a secret about the techniques used, and I hope you can bring these methods into all of your sock-knitting adventures!
